( A pause. )

They... fell on their own?

( Sounding contemplative, but to do that, means at some point having hunger outweigh sense, and they can have sense. )

The others, from this newest conquering force, they were more... instinctive. Fast to move, avoidant of whites, not talking. Still had some sense of order in the ones where we'd been chained, but not those down in the mines.

( Another pause. )

I'd have to observe them more closely to get a feel for what might be moving them, but at this point, I don't know that the means between the dead you witnessed and the dead I did are even the same. What made you finally realise they weren't living?
