It turns out that not everyone is dead. Which is really good news after the last two chapters. Though bad news for Mary is that Rebecca and Benjamin's funerals are held two days later. I can't feel any pity for Benjamin as he deserved much more than what he got.

Some suspicious news is that the graves are put in a spot where Jeremy had been working. I'm sure that it's just coincidence that he had been clearing the area where two Fiers were buried.

At the moment the graves were opened and Mary looks at the mourners. She notices that people had come from all around more for curiosity than actually caring about the people who had died. The Fier family is rich so I'm sure some distrust of the rich is there.

Mary, possibly being disturbed by the mourner's reactions, looks at her family. Concentrating on them makes her unable to hear the minister. Everyone she knows has changed drastically for the worse with two family members having died.
