[The cemetery, now that it's nearing the end of the festivities, looks a little different. Decorative throw pillows, if you didn't leave any customary ones for your dearly departed, have been provided for all of the graves, sitting neatly near the flowers and other decorations and offerings. A table has been placed next to the entrance, an imitation of the more personal shrines, should people wish to make any more grand gestures before the evening is through.

The cemetery itself, in a blank spot has a large spread out picnic blanket and a battery run boom box, playing slightly uplifting music to fill up the background, a few baskets are next to it, for people to enjoy food and drink and dancing for a few hours, before the dead are compelled to come sit on their graves

That's a beautiful name...

[she ventures closer and sits down next to him]

Beautiful girl. She would have liked me to remember her being happy.

[He scoots over a little so she can sit down.] Hope you don't have too many people here. [Dead, he means.]

Just one. But Rory's--he's still here, too.

[her eyes flick in the direction she left him before looking back at York]

Were you partnered up like detectives get?

[He nods. Yeah, York knows how that is.]

Depended on the mission, but I was ranked high enough that I could choose my partner most of the time, and, well, we worked well together.

And then it was just because she was my girl, but in the beginning it was 'cause we worked well together.

[quietly]

What happened to her?

[He sighs and gestures Delta over to him, with little ghostly-Epsilon following shyly.]

I got lucky. My AI implant worked.

[instinctively smiles at Delta and the ghost-Epsilon, reaching her hand out as if she could actually touch them, despite the sudden dread lodging itself in her chest]

She didn't--end up like the Meta... did she?

[Epsilon ducks for cover behind Delta, but the little green hologram remains steady.]

No. There wasn't enough of her left to end up like him.

[Amy's eyes widen to the size of dinner plates and she freezes with her hand still outstretched, staring at York in horror]

What?

[He keeps his gaze on the hologram of her in happier days, his voice steady.]

Her mind couldn't handle the pressure of two AIs. Eventually, she was just...gone.

[she lets out a breath she hadn't quite realized she was holding--she'd thought that by "wasn't enough left of her", he'd meant... physically. Not not mentally is much better, but the visual is still a lot less horrifying]

I thought you only got one AI.

That would be why you only get one. Someone had to test it out.

[He sounds...well, he could be angry, but he's been down that road before. Not it's just regret.]

[after a moment, Amy puts her hand on York's arm, and says very sincerely]

...I'm sorry.

[He sighs and then, after a moment, nods.]

Thanks.

[she doesn't reply, just keeps her hand there on his arm and hopes to be a comforting presence for a while]
