Our Father's Dust

"Peace; come away: the song of woe/ Is after all an earthly song:/
Peace; come away: we do him wrong/ To sing so wildly: let us go."

When Morgan arrives at Garcia's house to collect her and Kevin for the funeral, his heart nearly breaks as he walks through the door.
"Baby girl, now I know you know better than that," he says sadly, and disappears without permission into Garcia's bedroom. He returns with the first accessories that he finds: a yellow necklace, a blue beret, and multicolored bangles. She stands like a mannequin as he dresses her, tears swelling in her eyes, almost prompting them to form in his own.
"You really think Gideon would have wanted you in all black?"
She hugs him in response.
