[Radicool21]

Still probably my favorite chapter, other than the one with the wholesome cat guy.

 

[MerlinD]

Damn what a roller coaster

 

[hazze]

i guess it’s confirmed, few of those ghosts are kind of a pathway to heaven
or hell

 

[nyaasar]

Michiru is such a bestie

 

[iseedrawnpeople]

very wholseom part in this episode. Hope she reines her ability and gets some more freindly or neutral spirit pals.

You after reading this chapter a few times I recall that there's usually security cameras in hallway in hospital.

Won't the person watching the camera a night thinks that mieruko is hallucinating by running around the hospital and hiding in random corners and such.

They probably even though that Rom is a therapist doctor calming her down and lead her back to her room.

It also probably doesn't help when the old man ghost and his family moved on she is always in front of Rom like a doctor humoring a patience so they would go back to their room.

I know this girl ain’t under her bed

 

[chanmyse]

LOL, that's E.T

 

[FirenzeClipper]

Oh cool! The wheelchair spirit is a psychopomp.

And the twins at the end of the hall are cameo-ing from the Shining.

So the ones who finally pass on peacefully can either go away in their own or be taken where they need to go by a friendly spirit...while others who roam to much around get hunted down and eaten by others if they don't find a way to move on...

 

[Core711]

Why did Romm ask Miko to take pictures of a model? She should have enough pictures published lol

Well whatever. It was a nice chapter with a bit of lore, I like that

 

[JustSomeoneElse]

Didn't expect those 3 to be a deceased family more or less..

So the ones who finally pass on peacefully can either go away in their own or be taken where they need to go by a friendly spirit...while others who roam to much around get hunted down and eaten by others if they don't find a way to move on...

To me it seems like there's a point of no (or rare) return? Like if a spirit has grievances and obsessions and whatnot it starts to pick up some stank. Over time it's form, speech, and behavior get more and more distorted and it maybe starts consuming other ghosts. At that point it probably has to be forcibly exorcised or eaten.

So only spirits who were relatively at peace when they died can pass on by themselves or with the help of a friendly spirit*, either immediately or after completing a clear, pure goal**. They can also retain their form and identity, and might also have some degree of immunity against other spirits?

*Maybe spirits like the wheelchair spirit are for those who want to pass on in a group?

**Probably possible for a spirit that was doing fine to go bad if it's goal can't be completed in a timely manner or if something goes wrong. Like the spirit who wanted to tell his wife the combination to the safe probably went too long. Maybe the wife and daughter were able to last longer because they had each other?

Getting annoyed with Godmother and Romm. Like Miko's situation is clearly untenable but neither of them gives her more than a speck of information at a time.

Like it's ridiculous how little they've taught her at this point. Romm is especially insufferable considering he was smugly criticizing Godmother for not telling Miko anything back at the shrine.
