In which Jennie remains devoted at Lester’s bedside through his final days, witnessing with a quiet sorrow the customary rituals and formalities that follow his passing—rituals coloured by family ties and social conventions beyond her control. She experiences a poignant moment of mourning within a Catholic church and poignantly watches as the train bearing his coffin departs, marking the closing of one chapter in a life shadowed by both loss and uncertain futures.
