Mireille and Kirika were strolling past a city graveyard when a fresh grave caught Kirika's eagle eye.

"Isn't that the name of the man we killed last month?" Kirika asked.

"So it is," Mireille said. "It's a small world."

"But it's a large grave marker," Kirika said.

"He was criminal scum," Mireille thought out loud, "but many organized-crime leaders are wealthy."

"That isn't fair," a pouting Kirika said. "Why should he have a fancy monument, when I shall likely be buried in an unmarked grave?"

"If I kill you first," Mireille said dryly, "I'll pick out something nice for you."
