[...It's really no weirder than anything else, let's be honest with ourselves.]

...That sounds nice, actually.

[It really does, from the sound of it.]

Dust is really all we have once people die - there aren't any bodies or anything left behind. Sometimes we don't even know that someone's died, if someone does it when there's no one around.

Usually if someone is gone for long enough we can assume, but there isn't any closure that way. It's sad, I guess.
