Link & Elena
Despite being a primarily Latinx holiday, the Day of the Dead wasn't traditionally celebrated in Cuban culture so Elena didn't know much about it. She felt like she ought to honor the day even though she hadn't experienced any significant losses in her life.
The food was good and there were some vegetarian tamales, which she appreciated. Most of the gatherings here were good about accommodating all types of diets.
"Hi," she said, turning around with her plate and recognizing the young man standing behind her. She didn't think they'd ever talked, but she had seen him around. "Link, right? I think I've seen you at the settlement when I went there with Mr. Wednesday."
