''Who did?''
''The Galaxy.''
''A burial world? I....I uhhh...thought they were a myth.
This whole month, you ain't mentioned home. Not once.''
''You know as well as I do, mythology and history are two sides of the same coin.''
''Truth is only perceived as such when known.''
''Exactly, you catch on quick.''
''You're a paranoid soul, James.''
''Now the soul....the soul...that's the exception.''
''So there is something out there that you don't believe in?''
''Nah. That's not something you believe. That's something you lose. Something life thinks you oughta forget.
Back home on Lividium, that was a place designed. A planet where people cast away the things they
wished to forget, but I didn't resent that. It taught me a valuable lesson. When we bury those lost, when we step away
from that grave after the fancy ceremony. Roses cast. Bells ringing. We're trying to walk away from that person.
We need to forget them.
We have to survive. We need to be beyond them. And there's a selfish victory in that. Lividium wasn't a bad place.
You'll never find a more honest place in this life, than a graveyard.
I was raised with that as a literal foundation.
Empires, Rebellions, Jedi, mercenaries, lovers, poets....they all cast bodies there.
They didn't count on people forging a community there.
What the community didn't count on....was some of them coming back.''
''....I see now.''
''I know you do.''
''You're not a mercenary. You never intended on helping me with this job.''
''No. I came here carrying the souls of a dead world.''
''I never knew the name of that world. I never-''
''I don't care who you were with. No abstraction in this galaxy wants anyone to know about the skeletons in their closet.
My people were too much of a risk. For every faction in this damn galaxy.
You're not the first, and you won't be the last.''
''You can't...you can't have been there. I watched that whole world burn.''
''You'd be surprised how deep those bodies go.
And you'd be surprised how little poison it takes in a man's drink to boil his innards.
Goodbye. I'll be seeing your friends soon.
And so will you.''
