She and Therese had spent months alone cleaning up corpses from the Academy's lawn, let alone the relief work that occupied their years to come. All the bodies they'd burned, hidden, removed from history one by one with the pathos of a select few so that the world could be dressed up like their powers, and the ones who introduced them, had never been there at all.
