A small house shrine for his sister has been placed on the living room wall next to the one dedicated to his grandmother and the one for his father.
Guests come by from time to time to give their condolences, show their sympathy, maybe say a short prayer, and whenever they pray, he leaves the room.
He can see them leave from the window in his room, them feeling better about themselves, him feeling worse both for himself and them.
His sister didn't die last year, she died five hundred years ago. The prayers are five hundred years too late.
