I've been thinking about paper lantern au a bit for reasons, so i realized I never drew what Ingo looks like when he gets home!
Poor guy has to do his PT before he can get back on the trains... But hey, he gets a neat custom chandelure-themed staff to hang his lantern up on.
I also have extra spooky mode, for when the unruly passengers be acting up.
He can have some ghostliness as a treat. He keeps the fire, teleporting, and being able to understand and sound like a pokemon. Anything other than that and he has to leave his body again.
In addition to making sure his body recovers from his coma, Ingo also has to make sure his soul recovers from being decoupled for so long. For a little over the first month back, Ingo suffers from what looks like narcolepsy to anyone else, but for him it's like ha accidentally slipped out of his own body. The lantern comes in handy for when it takes a minute for him to reconnect.
The first time it happens, Emmet nearly has a heart attack because he thinks Ingo relapsed... Until Nobori awakens and Emmet remembers that his brother is still there, and then Emmet worries that Ingo is stuck.
