What's this supposed to be?

Is it a...grave, perhaps?

A grave? In a place like this?

Actually, this is just the type
of place I'd expect to see one.

What do you mean?

You know, like the grave of
someone who plotted against
the empire...and failed.

If you wanted to bury somebody and
keep it quiet, you'd want a place
like this with no one around.

Huh, wonder if that's
what's in store for me.

Don't say such things...!
That isn't funny!

I wasn't exactly kidding.

It's just a fact of life that some
folks from the lower quarter never
get a funeral or a proper burial.

What happens to them, then?

They get cremated and have
their ashes scattered over a
river or a field, usually.

Are you telling the truth...?

...How did we get started
talking about this, anyway?

Cause we're trying to figure
out what a lone grave is
doing in a place like this.

Yeah. So, just who does
it belong to...?
