There was a difference.

When someone died, there was a body. Perhaps a grave. There was grief, but also closure.

When someone disappeared without a trace, only memories could prove that they had been there at all.


Under normal circumstances, Heather found head-pats condescending-- something to be ducked away from or playfully retaliated against. Right now, though, it was oddly comforting.
