Mara stays still and watches the Vares diver. Slowly he points at the crate, then at himself, then taps his chest where a name patch would be. He mouths a word through the glass that stops her cold: her husband's name. This man knew him.
Mara's grief turns to fury and she shoves him back. If he knew her husband, he knew what happened and said nothing for years. He raises both hands, then slowly pulls a worn photo from his pouch: the four of them, smiling, before the last dive. "I tried to stop it," his voice crackles. She believes him. Side by side, they bring the crate up and hand every page to the authorities, and the man who sank the ship is arrested within the week.
