A wave of unease settled over the assistant . He realized there were many secrets surrounding Aurelia perhaps she wasnt as malicious as she had appeared . After organizing his thoughts , he met with the representatives from the sky burial organization . Learning that the process was extremely complex and required travel to Tibet , he fell into deep contemplation . This was Aurelias final wish , and without his direct oversight , he feared news of her death might leak out .

Throughout the trip , images of Aurelia kept appearing in his mind this once vibrant , captivating woman , now reduced to a cold , lifeless form .
