This was the first time that he had ever visited the cemetery. He was afraid of disturbing those at rest by being present. If one was dead, would they be able to hear everything that occurred around them? The dead usually have their eyes and mouths closed, so the only other receptor would be the ears. What if their hearing has become so clear that they would notice the nearly silent whirs of his servos? They might be annoyed by the noisiness.
Scientifically speaking, the dead are nothing but bodies; they are unable to hear anything. They're just there to occupy space until they've been broken down into the dirt. Crux stepped closer to a single grave, kneeling down in front of it to read the name, date, and epitaph. The gravestone was the substitute of having an actual body out in the open; not only did it tell a little bit about the deceased, but it also did not decay. Was it merely created to mark graves to protect the health of the visitors, or are they meant to represent them to give others a hint as to what they were like in life?
The date on this tombstone was marked for a long, long time ago. How old was this cemetery? He rose from the ground and adjusted his bandages. The breeze brushed against his hair and his clothing, as if the wind was answering his question. When he looked back, Crux noticed the leaves shift slightly to reveal the remains of a path to the resting area. It was forgotten, perhaps the knowledge of this place discarded by humans who think of them as irrelevant to the current generation. It was a guess that stemmed from the amount of time that has passed between their deaths and today.
