owlette: Agreed, I was a little worried that they brought up the "passing on" idea in the second chapter.
However if I believe the tags, it's probably fine? And this series apparently only goes for 12 chapters so there's a decently good chance the tags are already accurate?
(Anyway, I much prefer my romantic ghosts to stick around. There's always the ol' tried-and-true "actually it was a coma" fallback, but somehow that doesn't feel like it would fit well with this story... I don't know.)
