HUMBLE TOWN
Although all of it started to feel like a fever dream, Mik definitely felt the pain of his late wife's bony fingers scratching against his back, ruining his suit and crying about the unfairness of fate. He hadn't been at fault in her addiction, or her death, had he? What was this about being stuck here forever? Was this what happened after death?
Mik suddenly turned around and tried to grab Mia's hands, "What do you mean, stuck here?" he asked her. Mik had always seen death as something final, something only those blasted Force sensitives could somehow transcend. He worked tirelessly to get the funds for Jana Kang's research into the detox adrenals that could've saved Mia, that would save countless like her. Although seeing his wife like this broke his heart, he didn't think he deserved to spend an eternity stuck in a white room after death. He didn't want this fate for himself.

When @Mik Deluto went to embrace his wife, he would find that his arms would simply pass through her. She would reappear behind him, her small, bony fists smacking him in his back.
You are nothing Mik Deluto. Her voice was raspy but filled with malice, dripping with the poison of a wasted life, of dying alone and angry and scared. You should be the one who is dead. YOU SHOULD BE THE ONE WHO IS STUCK HERE FOREVER.
More fists, scratching, feral. She would kill Mik if he let her.
Would he?
