What is recorded here

No fairy ever flew here. A family lived here, bled here, starved here, loved here, and was forgotten. The fairies arrived later, doing what fairies do everywhere: claiming what people dropped. They filled the hole left behind by humans. They are not the owners. They are the cleanup crew.
