9th February. Respect! Ancestors.

The incense slowly burns down on the living room table, this is the allotted time given to the ancestors to first have their fill of the roast suckling pig and other delicacies. Not surprisingly they don't seem to eat much, possibly because they no longer have stomachs or bodies for that matter. If they were simply living a purer afterlife existence as vegans they could have just had the rice.

These kind of details are always a bit hazy, or simply glossed over, but it's worked well enough for 6000 years so Isabelle's dad tells me.

However, belief seems to be nowadays restricted to the elderly, possibly for good reason...
