Kerry slowly squatted down and read the inscription on the tombstone again.
Indeed, September 30, 1886, is today.
Could it be that a lady named Aileen died today and her tombstone was immediately erected? Who is the "master" mentioned on the tombstone? Veronica? Does "goddess" refer to the subject of worship in the church?
Also, there is an issue with the birth date: August 7th, 1864. If calculated like this, the deceased had just celebrated her 22nd birthday, but the tombstone stated that the cause of death was old age.
After experiencing so much, Kerry's first reaction was not to doubt the inscription but to believe that, for some reason, these two contradictory facts happened simultaneously.
"Young lady, what are you doing here?"
Kerry hastily jumped forward, pulling away from the owner of the voice while turning her body to face the source of the sound.
The elderly woman Kerry had once met was standing behind her, as quiet as the last time she appeared.
