↓ Transcript
We fade into the next scene, now back outside, and see a shot of Devere's lower face taking a puff from a cigarette. It's wrapped in some sort of green leaf.
Devere exhales the smoke and we now see his entire face, which holds a tired, rather disinterested expression. His hood is now lowered and the gloves from earlier have been removed. In the background someone is screaming at the top of their lungs.
A woman runs out of the mortuary with wide, crying eyes, covering her mouth. She has tan white skin and medium blonde, short hair, and is wearing a light green shirt, teal green dress, a beige sash around her waist, and an olive green scarf. She has just seen her husband's body and confirmed that it was indeed him that was killed by the knucker. The cemetery's Keeper of the Dead, Jonan Cleary, follows close behind her and puts his hands on her shoulders. He has dark skin, partially tied back long, black dreadlocks with some graying streaks, a gray beard, and is wearing a black cloak and the standard gray robes of a death keeper. He also has some sort of light gray pendant on. Devere and Gates have been standing far away from the scene, near a tree, to give the two some privacy.
Widow: *sob* Oh god...

The woman then gags. She was immediately nauseated by the sight and smell of her husband's corpse, and the shock and stress only adds to it.
Widow: Glrk
A shot of Gates standing with his arms crossed. The woman vomits off-screen.
Widow: Blaargh!
Gates expression tells of both mild amusement at what Jonan just avoided, and sympathy for the woman.
Gates: Good thing he was behind her.
