    Summary

    "Ghosts that were wont to manifest themselves [...] tended to belong to one of the following (often overlapping) categories of the 'restless' dead. [...] Ataphoi: 'those deprived of burial.' Whatever the circumstances of death, a ghost could not achieve rest without the due funeral rights..." ['Magic, Witchcraft, and Ghosts in the Greek and Roman Worlds']

    On the way to Omaugh Station, Seivarden tries to do the right thing, and Breq tries not to care about what Seivarden is trying to do. Neither of them is sure if they succeeded.

    Summary

    Seivarden was a respected officer once, and now she's a respected officer again, but there was a long space in between. Inevitably, someone someday was going to see Mercy of Kalr Lieutenant Seivarden and recognize the desperate drifter who'd had a very expensive habit and very few marketable skills; she knew that. It didn't make it any easier when it happened.
