(Screenshots from the game Dwarf Fortress.

Image 1. A dwarf named Thikut Manorhails is reading a book called “Do We Understand Loss?”

Image 2. Thikut is crying while he reads.

Image 3. Description page for the book. It says, “Written on the item is an essay entitled Do We Understand Loss? authored by Smuntstu Scourgenightmare the Secretive Harvester of Disembowelment. It concerns the murder of the goblin Ngerxung Fernmonster the Ochre Dike of Burden by the goblin Smunstu Scourenightmare the Secretive Harvester of Disembowelment in Liespirit in 238.”)

So I bought some new books from the dwarven traders…

I was expecting maybe a religious essay about the afterlife?
