Third-person POV
The world sounded with mourning and the rush of the death creatures to transport most of the dead bodies of the humans they had systematically slaughtered. Some, like in Japan, were hopeless because almost all humans had been obliterated from existence when the Enforcers of the Psycho-Pass sector had used the Lethal Decomposer on their Dominators to turn them into ashes. Because of that, most of the Enforcers, like Kai Takahashi, used their Dominators on themselves to shed their eternal essence and scatter some ashes of the humans according to their memories of them. They are immortal and can regenerate themselves, plus, they require little sustenance and sleep.
Once the reconstructed ashes were piled wherever they were, the Enforcers gathered them into urns and placed the urns in the homes of the victims.
But for the rest of dead humanity, the hospitals, especially those formerly reserved for the elites of the Dystopian sectors, became silent as the heart monitors recorded flatline on the victims. 5 days later, the humans are long gone. The mourning among the dead creatures intensified for the next 7 days of the burial and cremation of the dead humans. Some were buried in mass graves and small spaces for small cemeteries, while others were cremated, and their ashes were collected in urns and kept by their former killers and executioners in the homes of their former owners. The firemen of the Fahrenheit 451 sector used their flamethrowers to burn and cremate the dead around the area outside their sector's headquarters in, of all places in the world, Manchester in England. The head chief of the Fahrenheit 451 sector recorded every name of the deceased they had burned, slaughtered, and cremated in digital records and physical ledgers, including their choice for book preferences and trivia of their daily lives. They repurposed the Hall of the Salamander into a huge, dense library to apologize both to the humans they had exterminated and to the books they had burned.
The burials and cremations lasted for hours on those seven mournful days. Rites from different religions, from major ones to the regional folk ones, were said and done on behalf of the dead. Candlesticks and incense sticks gave a light scent wherever the burial rites were done. Most of the areas near urban areas and villages saw graves and cemeteries with different physical markers, especially center ones that signaled the places.
In these 7 days, the first step was to make memorial marks. This was evident in Yokohama, Japan, the land of the Library Wars Sector. There are many censors who once censored anime, manga, and even manhwa who are now making memorials for the dead authors, artists, and animators through statues and stained glass. They labored on it day and night and got little food, drink, and sleep to finish their desperate memorial work. They wore their military and enforcement attires as a secondary attire (not second skin) as they labored. Some of them assigned themselves to pardon the dead creative dissidents with papers condemning themselves as wrong (no punishment, just acknowledging their faults) and the deceased creatives as right. They hung these papers of pardon and recognition on bulletin boards and inside homes of the dead creators.
Across the Tokyo Bay in Chiba City, the land of the Jin Roh sector, those who had been executed for dissident (social reformers, artists, writers, and everyday individuals who had morals the old order considered a threat) were pardoned by the authorities and the Wolf Brigade. They held empty trials in courthouses, saying the names of the deceased loud and said these words every time: "We are wrong, and you [name] were right all along. May our words find your peace in the afterlife or linger among us as we will rebuild what you had built and continue your lives."
Like the censors in Yokohama, they posted the pardons on bulletin boards, from schools to government buildings and parks, and inside the homes of deceased people.
Back in Tokyo, the Enforcers of the Psycho-Pass sector did the same things for the deceased. They modified their pardon words to the air: "We are wrong. You, [name], are just struggling with stress. We were wrong. You had been pardoned."
These words are for those who were innocent before their downfalls and demises.
For those who did commit any crime while they were still alive, the Enforcers wrote the criminal reports based on regular civil laws. They cannot arrest them because these criminals are long dead, so they simply wrote what crime they had committed based on evidence and collective memory and wrote their supposedly prison sentences, promising to declare their posthumous releases when those days came. The old Sibyl System grieved on the dead people, so it rewrote its codes and algorithm and became the Grief System that apologizes to the spirits who were beginning to appear a few days after Francisco and the last humans on his last day died and declared their lives before their fates.
The patterns of pardon, rewriting, and acknowledgement were evident even after the 7-day mourning and burial period had ended. The Fahrenheit 451 sector in Manchester made stained glass of the dead book enthusiasts and writers in cathedrals and in their fire academies across the UK and Europe. Their stained glass is colourful and creative.
In Atlanta, Georgia, US, the Equilibrium sector declared itself wrong on their fallible view on human emotions. They made paintings and stained glass of dead humans in different emotions. The pardons for the dead were the same and similar to those in the other sectors of the Dystopian Order (now called the Order of Restoration and Preservation) around the world.
