The Farewell Meow was a virtual representation of one of Eivor Varinsdottir's genetic memories, relived by Layla Hassan through the Portable Animus HR-8.5.

Description

Eivor found a sobbing woman over a grave and decided to try and help.

Dialogue

Eivor heard a woman crying and went to find her.

• Anglo-Saxon Woman 1: (sad sniffling) How do I get through another night without you?

Eivor spoke with her.

• Eivor: Those are the cries of a broken heart. Who died?
• Anglo-Saxon Woman 1: My beloved cat, Sphinxy. And please, do not be so crass. Sphinxy has simply...passed on. She is in God's hands.
• Eivor: Nothing hurts quite like a fresh wound. But in time, it will heal and life will return to normal.
• Anglo-Saxon Woman 1: If only. Instead, I find myself missing her more and more with each passing winter.
• Eivor: How long ago did Sphinxy pass on?
• Anglo-Saxon Woman 1: Eleven years ago tomorrow. A long time, I know.
• Eivor: A little. Have you thought about honoring Sphinxy with a shrine? It is no burial, but it may ease your grief.
• Anglo-Saxon Woman 1: I am halfway there, but I cannot bring myself to sort through her things. I simply do not have the strength.

Let me see what I can doYou must do this yourself

Eivor decided to help her.

• Eivor: You alone must find the strength, lest you spend the next decade as you are now.
• Anglo-Saxon Woman 1: True words. I shall try.

Eivor left her momentarily and then came back to check on her.

• Eivor: Still mourning, hmmm?
• Eivor: What else can I do? I do not have it in me to fetch what remains of my poor Sphinxy. Her shrine will forever be incomplete.

Eivor decided to help her finally.

• Eivor: I will help you. We will build Sphinxy a shrine together. Where should I start?
• Anglo-Saxon Woman 1: My home. It's where she...she...

Ealwyn gave Eivor a key as she started crying again. Eivor went into the house and found some of Sphinxy's belongings. Eivor also found a page atop Ealwyn's bed.

Ealwyn's Journal
The Family has grown! Sphinxy has finally given birth to a litter of kittens, all healthy, all resembling their beautiful mother.

I will leave them to sup on her milk for a few days, and in the meantime think of what to name them all. O, I am so overjoyed!

• Eivor: I have found some of Sphinxy's belongings.
• Anglo-Saxon Woman 1: You have? O, wonderful! Would you bring them to the shrine just over there, beneath the shrub?

Eivor placed the items atop Sphinxy's grave.

• Eivor: It is done. A shrine dedicated to Sphinxy, whenever you care to pay your respects. And a home you can return to again. It may take some getting used to without Sphinxy, but her children need you.
• Eivor: And here I thought all Danes were ruthless plunderers. Murderers! You have a soul that would grace the heavens. Like my Sphinxy. Lord light your way.

Outcome

Eivor helped Ealwyn build a shrine for Sphinxy.
