[Is it a premonition, an expression of anxiety, a warning? Or simply a statement of fact? Memento mori isn't entirely out of place inside a church, though now that he holds this slip of paper in his hand he wonders once again why there isn't a graveyard. He wonders where the people who once lived here buried their dead. Remember Man that you are dust and unto dust you shall return seems less ominous in the absence of tombstones and monuments and though Bruce has never spent much time in church, his understanding of the place has always been a joining of the concerns of both heaven and earth. Actions and consequences.

Beacon is, in this too, uneven.

He looks back at the place where it was found and then, because he is only human, checks the rest of the pages for anything else. Holds the paper up to the light to see if any words might have been written and then erased. The sun is beginning to sink and it changes the aesthetic within the chapel- the color from each piece of stained glass is beginning to wane, to shorten it's slide across the floor. He folds the note back up and tucks it into his pocket- resumes inspecting the church until he's satisfied that he hasn't missed anything else that appears to be left behind.]
