Oh, um, no, it’s not for any practical reason, it’s… I suppose respect is one way to put it. I just want to bury them again afterwards. If I was able to separate them into their own skeletons, that would be ideal, but… I’m sure the souls are gone already, so the bones are… just things, now. Still — I want to do the right thing. The bones don’t need to be wholly intact for that, though, just as long as they’re not, you know, smashed to fine dust or anything.

Thank you. I know a lot of people wouldn’t consider it important, so I truly appreciate it. I’ll do my best to make sure this goes smoothly!
