What is recorded here

Lenafin holds a children's burial ground, though no further detail has emerged about when it was used or who laid the first child beneath the soil. That absence does not diminish the place; it refuses to turn grief into a spectacle. Any child buried there entered the earth small, nameless to distance but certain to the people who carried them. The ground remembers what forgetting wants to remove.
