It’s quite clear from the start how the young man died, but what is unclear is why he died, and why his companions lied about his death.<\/p>\n

As with previous stories, we see not just a few moments into the lives of the survivors after the death, but further into their futures.<\/p>\n

“Do you know what I often think?” Ingerid said. “When something terrible happens, we talk about people getting over it. Is she over it? we say, as if the tragedy is an obstacle in someone’s path and we have to scale it. It’s not that straightforward. Grieving is something we have to live with,” she said, “it’s a constant battle. And the enemy is the rest of our lives. All those nights. All those hours.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

All those nights.<\/p>\n

All those hours.
