The Farewell Meow was a virtual representation of one of Eivor Varinsdottir's genetic memories, relived by Layla Hassan in 2020 through the Portable Animus HR-8.5.[1]
Description
Eivor found a sobbing Anglo-Saxon woman over a grave and decided to try and help.
Dialogue
Eivor heard a woman crying and went to find her.
- Ealwyn: (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?
- Ealwyn: 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.
- Ealwyn: If only. Instead, I find myself missing her more and more with each passing winter.
- Eivor: How long ago did Sphinxy pass on?
- Ealwyn: 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.
- Ealwyn: I am halfway there, but I cannot bring myself to sort through her things. I simply do not have the strength.
- Eivor: You alone must find the strength, lest you spend the next decade as you are now.
- Ealwyn: True words. I shall try.
- Ealwyn: O, Sphinxy.
- Eivor: Still mourning, hmmm?
- Ealwyn: 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: I will help you. We will build Sphinxy a shrine together. Where should I start?
- Ealwyn: My home. It's where she... she...
Ealwyn gave Eivor a key as she started crying again. Eivor unlocked the door to the house and found a wall of empty crates behind the door, blocking access to the rest of the house.
- Eivor: There must be something I can find in here for the cat's shrine... if I can sort through all the rubble.
Breaking the crates, Eivor found the house to be full to capacity with several lively, full-grown cats. She had to carefully break some of the wicker boxes and other obstructions strewn throughout the house to obtain Sphinxy's belongings. Eivor called out incredulously.
- Eivor: Just how many cats do you have?
- Ealwyn: Those are Sphinxy's children. O, they must be so big now!
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 retrieved some of the items and moved a shelf to find the remaining one.
- Eivor: Here we are.
This will do.
Eivor obtained the third and final item.
- Eivor: I have found some of Sphinxy's belongings.
- Ealwyn: 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.
- Anglo-Saxon Woman: 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.
The woman made the sign of the cross and prayed to the shrine as Eivor took her leave.
Outcome
Eivor helped Ealwyn build a shrine for Sphinxy.
