I wish it was that simple. I could only see her when she wanted me to see her. And while I was cursed with her, she could see and hear everything I could hear. She could get into my spine and keep me from moving at all.
[Riz certainly remembers that sensation -- the feeling of Kalina's weight (fake and yet so real) pressing on his chest and his limbs completely unable to move while Fabian was-- out there in danger and he could do nothing to stop it.
[There is a satisfied, vicious edge to Riz's words. Kalina had been a thorn in his side for so long. She had been the cause of Pok dying. Being able to kill her, with the help of Fig and Fabian had felt really good.]
So, I aimed my dad's gun at her and I said 'Mission Accomplished, Dad'. And then I shot her.
[It doesn't sound as cool now.]
I swear it was cool at the time. The vibe was, like, wildly different. There was a rain and a storm. Also, she was responsible for killing my dad cause he was on to her, so yeah. That is why it was important to use his gun and it was definitely really badass.
He can hear me, you know. If I talk to his grave, he can hear me. I don't mean this in a vague religious bullshit kind of way; he told me he can hear everything that gets said to his grave.
[A pause and then.]
Did I ever tell you I met him in Heaven? And that's a secret angel agent?
See, that's the coolest thing. He doesn't really solve mysteries in Heaven. He is part of a task force that goes undercover into Hell to get info off demons and stuff. And they made me part of it.
Obviously, I'm not looking forward to dying, but like, it'll be cool to know that when I do, I'll just be working with my dad to solve more cases. And my mom too. All three of us could work together and kick all kinds of ass.

Nothing except give up information.]

I even got to say a cool line and everything.
[The line was... probably not that cool at all.]
Oh! And I got to something cool with a mirror!
[That had been pretty damn cool.]

Are there a lot of mysteries to solve in heaven?
