A bone for Edrei.
A bone for Rexanna.
A bone for Clem.
A bone for Bastien.
A bone for Sam.
A bone for Aedion.
A bone for 108.
A bone for Adam.
A bone for Mabel.
A bone for Evelyn.
A bone for Robin.
A bone for Osozo.
A bone for Mara.
A bone for Edwyn.
A bone for those she assumes dead: Aamu, Letha and Elide.
And yes, even a bone for Morgan.
