un: absterge
Instructions to appease the dead were requested. For monks.
Do not greet them bloodied. Treat them as elders. Children. Capable of base emotion: fear, wrath, lust, fierce love.
Spare kindness. Respect. Sandalwood and joss sticks. Patience.
Forgive their pettiness. Their cruelty.
Allow them dignity. Listen, then perform their required appeasement.
Should this fail: binding. Execution. and the only topic on which Lan Wangji will speak at length, Spider-walk taught during your next class. )
