   Summary

   Eridians don't have a word for [goodbye]. They also don't have a word for [burial]. They only have the final sleep, and the forever after, and mourning songs that ring within deathless shells.

   Or: If you sing with your crewmates' bones, they will sing back.

   And if you give your Human companion detailed instructions on how to ritually disembowel your body after death, it might have some follow-up questions.
