She's probably lonely the without people. I could understand.
[He does understand, including wanting to hang on just for that and more.]
I guess saying it was a ghost isn't the whole truth. I got powers in the last world I was in. I could hear it calling, begging to be heard. We learned it was a thing called a troll, a kind of undead that had been warped by the same infection that wiped out the world. The trolls, their bodies weren't just walking corpses, they were changed. They were horrible. It called and pretended to be a living person in trouble so it could kill and eat us. But it also called because it was asking for help. I killed it and then, with the powers, I set its soul free and sent it on. I still don't know how I did it, really. It seemed grateful but it wasn't a great time. It never really is, I guess. But the rest of those on the island survived for it, so that's something.
