Human skulls and bones were scattered across the area—dozens - no, uncountable. The bones were beginning to turn to dust, suggesting they had been there for far longer than just 10 or even 20 years. Under typical conditions, bones can take several decades to begin decaying into dust.

The sight before her indicated that these bones had been lying here for many years - perhaps even decades.
Sakura's hands trembled at the sight.
She decided to call out to Squishy.
