Angor watched the kids coming on bloody steps with a strange look.
Both Vonman and Guina had bloodstains on their bodies. Even now, Vonman's big backpack was dripping more blood onto the ground.
"What's—"
Angor saw the kids' determined look and decided not to complain.
"… Five more minutes. Get yourselves washed. And do something about… those."
Vonman nodded and went to the river nearby.
After some cleaning, Vonman unbuttoned his pack and revealed its content—whole skins removed from Chaira and Aarni's bodies.
Angor silently watched Vonman rinsing the human skins carefully.
Everything took a turn for the worse when Guina made that suggestion. The kids wanted to keep their dead partners with them, and since they didn't have a good way to carry corpses, they skinned Chaira and Aarni instead.
It was Guina who came up with the idea.
"*Slurp* I'll make them into dolls, so they can be with us forever…"
