I love the implication that you wear the dead man's shoes and so, you move the dead man's life forward. It's fun to think about the implications of a village like this -- like, the kid whose family had big expectations for him is forced to fill his dad's shoes after a heart attack takes him down, someone who always wanted to be a singer ends up in muddy work boots and of course, you can't be a singer in work boots.

Hey, thanks for reading! You’re right there are loads of ways this could be applied or used to build a broader world within that village. Also yeah if there’s one thing you can’t even attempt in work boots, it’s singing.
