Summary
Hilkiah Uzai passed away peacefully on his 64th birthday.
For a moment, at least.
For just as his consciousness had finally left him, he was abruptly ripped back to reality. With the sun glaring directly onto his face, he had half a mind to tell off whatever servant must have decided to open the drapes without his permission, but his grumble was cut short as he steadily became more aware of his surroundings.
Of the soft grass gently caressing his face, moved by a gentle breeze that carried alongside it not only the sounds of birds and insects, but also the scent of-
“Shiemi, please be careful!”
- the Artemis.

Summary
Now, standing before the room, Arthur hesitates for a moment and listens for any sounds from inside before he raises his hand to knock thrice.
“Brother?” He inquires, opening the door just wide enough to fit his head through.
The room is dark - save for the flickering light of a small candle on the bedside table, which illuminates naught but the bed itself and the two figures occupying it. Jeremiah doesn't seem to have heard him, though, as his head stays turned away from the door. His gaze seems to be glued to the body – the corpse – lying on the bed just as they had found him this morning.
“Jeremiah?” he tries again, louder this time, and winces at the creak of the door as he opens it just a bit further to take a step onto the white carpeted floor inside.
This time his brother’s head snaps around.
