Rebecca receives phone calls from her dead mother. She discovers “Comforts”—entities that impersonate the deceased to feed on grief while providing false emotional support. Most grieving people remain deceived, but Rebecca learns the truth and negotiates conscious exploitation: receiving comfort while knowing it’s false and predatory. The Comforts evolve to offer memory modification, editing painful pasts to make farming more efficient. Rebecca accepts memory alteration, choosing comfortable exploitation over authentic but unbearable grief. The Comforts achieve integration with human society as normalized grief management, farming billions who choose comfort over truth.
