i cannot stress enough that souls are tangible things in death stranding that is one essential half to having your heart beat and your lungs breathe and that deadman, at the beginning of death stranding one, does not have one, but he does at the end
and the thing that turned him into a zombie that is reanimated instead of a zombie that is undead is allowing himself to love sam and lou
"as it turns out, i have a beach" -> secret code for "your living love warmed my dead body enough for it to recieve one of being alive's inherent rights which i had been incapable of receiving until then"
