Not really. I just wanted to know if your reason has changed.
What did you think it was going to change to?

What did you think it was going to change to?
<Snipped quote by Meta>
Mm. I suppose.
Was there anywhere you were wanting to go with that?
<Snipped quote by Meta>
Mm. Why do you want to be a detective?
I want to solve mysteries. And if I can help people who need puzzles solved along the way, even better.
<Snipped quote by Meta>
Mm. Sometimes you can. And a lot of people think that carrying on their memory makes them immortal, in a way.
Not by worrying about it, though. And what good does an immortal memory do? Have I done anything for them by showing up, other proving that I’ll do something sort of inconvenient if it makes them happy?
<Snipped quote by Meta>
Yes, but there's often a spiritualist component. There's also much more chance for pageantry with a burial, and there's a specific place to visit for their memory. Many find it distasteful to burn bodies, which leads to traditions such as burials when a species develops its cultures.
It just seems like a waste to me. If someone’s dead, you can’t change it. No point in sitting around, thinking about it.

Mm. Depending on the species and culture, there are various reasons. The process of decomposition and the attempt to prevent disease are the most common among sapient species.
Composting or burning would be more effective to that end.

*Stops just outside the gate and waits*
*Steps inside, steps in front of an unmarked plot for a few seconds before walking back*
I also don’t understand the point of burying the dead. Seems like a waste of ground to me.
<Snipped quote by Meta>
Mm.
*Follows you*
*On the edge of the small civilization, walks to a chained gate with no lock and opens it, stepping inside*
<Snipped quote by Meta>
I'm not worried about it. I have nothing to do until tomorrow. I can wait here if you want.
*Shrugs*
Doesn’t matter to me. You can come if you want.
*Starts walking across the middle of the town*
<Snipped quote by Meta>
Mm. I see. You should go now then, to make sure you don't forget to.
I don’t want to waste your time on meaningless trips.
