He had difficulty sleeping after that moment. All he could think of was the poor women who was now dead. Her children and their children who would hear the news and weep for the departed.

He remembered seeing the delight on some of their faces and the way they spoke of it as the normal thing that happened.

If this is what being Awakened was all about, the unravelling of such mysteries.
He wasn't sure he wanted to be so enlightened.
