What is recorded here
Loona More holds a children's burial ground, though no visible marker remains to show where the small bodies lie. The land may have swallowed every stone and name, leaving only a faint change in grass or a sudden drop in temperature at dusk. What is certain is that the place existed, that children were set into it, and that the earth closed over them without witness.
