"Fitgirl," the senior embalmer had called out that morning with the easy, teasing tone of someone twenty years older. It was a nickname that stuck: Mara’s lean frame and careful, unhurried way of moving reminded them of someone who trained hard, disciplined in a life that had never been flashy. She smiled at the memory now and set the cart beside Drawer 47, where a young man lay wrapped in a white sheet.

They left together into the thin dawn. Elena tucked the bag under her arm like a talisman and thanked Mara with a single quiet sentence that felt charged with everything she'd been holding back.

She logged the property with the same meticulous handwriting she used for names, then slid the pack into the evidence drawer reserved for unclaimed valuables. It felt heavier than its size justified.

Thanks for the extra minutes. Keep going.

She unlocked a drawer and withdrew the mortuary's duplicate of the sealed case. In the light of the office, the vacuum seal glinted like a promise. Mara signed the duplicate chain-of-custody form with her name, hand deliberate, and slid the duplicate across to Elena. "This copy is to you," she said. "I’ll hold the mortuary's copy. If there’s any legal challenge, we will comply. But right now this is your property."

Mara kept her expression neutral. They had many bereaved come in with parcels—token things meant for safekeeping. But the woman’s fingers were rough in the way of hands accustomed to labor, not city polish. There was a faded scar along the outside of her thumb.

In the hush of the prep room she found Noah’s body already dressed in the neutral clothes the mortuary provided for viewings. The repack in the evidence drawer was sealed with the mortuary's stamp and labeled "Claimant: Elena." The canisters and little components tucked inside sat quiet under plastic. Mara touched the edge of the drawer, feeling the cool metal. Protocol dictated she hand the sealed evidence to the claimant, but a procedural knot pulled at the back of her mind. A private firm collecting property without a family signature felt like a middleman tucking secrets into pockets and walking away.
