When Axle and Miria find Vash and Karl the next morning, the only thing they can do is kill some of the rats and then bury the two men in the sand near the path. After stripping the bodies of anything useful, they decide to bury Karl on top of Vash, so that scavengers will ravage that body first. There's no wood to be spared for a cross, so Miria uses your knife to carve your name on the nearby rock face.

THREE GENERATIONS LATER
A man who never had a name, naked, wounded and starving, screams bereft of words.
His woman tried to break his head with a rock, maybe in revenge for the beating she got last night, maybe to feed her pregnant body.
So, he strangled her.
Now he stumbles out of the cave where they sheltered, a bleak refuge with almost nothing to show humans lived there—sharpened rocks, loosely collected firewood, a piece of rusty metal used as a knife.
His head bleeding, he takes a few steps into the sun and collapses.
A drizzle of rain begins to fall, covering his lifeless body as the coyotes, ever watchful, descend. They reclaim the cave and feast on the last vestiges of humanity, their howls echoing in the landscape.
