Summary
It's tricky to ask a ghost what it wants. Few of them know. Even fewer can articulate their wish. It would be easier if every ghost just had one final task to complete, or one bit of unfinished business to tend to. One last thing on the to-do list before a soul can be free.
But who is ever truly done with life when they die?
Their souls still ascend.

Ruolai can't take his eyes off him.

"Come to bed," he says for the third time tonight, and for the third time Ruolai makes a noncommittal noise and then looks down at his writing again.

He's given the speech.
He did the red carpet, he waved at the photographers, he participated in some kind of convoluted activity, he sat down at his table. He got up to accept one of the arbitrary awards. He said all his lines. He sat down again.
