She hears her calling Shachath, beckoning, and as a superior and well-respected Reaper; Lorelai has no choice but to come.
She finds herself back in the familiar wilderness standing beside the Reaper, examining the Ranger's Station at a distance.
❝ Why am I here? ❞ Lorelai asks, crossing her arms and examing the scene in the warm afternoon sun.
"He didn't want to come," Shachath answered. "Denied my embrace, perhaps too raptured by his Death State, however, I think he's finally over it. Though he's still confused, he thinks it was all a nightmare, he's haunting the place as if he still owns it. He believes he's living," she tells Lorelai as she looks down and nods. It happens more often than people like to think.
❝ And you want me to fix it, ❞ Lorelai croaks as she starts to remember the last conversation she had with him. The type of guy Stan is. Shachath nods.
"Help him..." Shachath says turning. "I have other souls to reap," she says and disappears, with little to no sound at all.
She swallows as she feels Shachath's presence leave as she looks down at the task at hand. She's left to formulate her own plan and it's harder with those who think they're still alive. So she knows she has to ease herself tactfully. She wanders the woods a bit, it's different wandering around in the realm of the dead. It's more lively, dead creatures still wandering about, dead settlers, natives, a portal or two, a cryptid, and of course, the ones who corrupt and do all the killing.
Night falls as Lorelai suddenly bangs on the door. She's cut, bruised, and dirtied. ❝ Help! ❞ she cries out looking behind her in fear. ❝ Help me... please let me in! ❞ she adds with a few more knocks. ❝ I got lost and there's these things out here... ❞ she cries hugging herself. He doesn't look like the type to not want to open the door to a damsel in distress but then again she's been wrong. ❝ Please...it's cold, ❞ she adds hugging herself and leaning against the door, defeated.
