Quote
Her mind was present because she was always gone. Her hands were filled because they grasped the meaning of empty. Life was simple.

The men stop coming after Hunt goes missing. We learned from the last brave soul to visit that they whispered all sorts of stories to answer his disappearance. My favorite is that we ate him.
