I mean... Not Exactly like this. Usually the whole "we're all being forced to kill strangers" bit isn't hanging in the air. ... And usually, I don't know a spirit before they're dead.

[It's probably happened a few times, but it's definitely not common. and maybe a little too dark for a cartoon, especially when executive meddling started]

Still. There's tons of spirits of the dead who turn angry and bitter, and can warp into non-human shells of their former selves. Most of 'em are too far gone to help, and they don't even remember their human life. Those go in the containment unit. Then there's ones like... All of you here, I guess.

Still chilling on the mortal plane. Some accepting, some angry, some depressed about it. All of you not able to move on. That's usually my bread and butter- when I try to figure out how to talk spirits into a better place, so to speak. Sometimes that works. Sometimes they're comfortable hanging out as a ghost and trying to build a new life.

This place doesn't seem to give much of a choice. I dunno if that's better or not. But at least it gives you all time to decide what you might actually want, when or if you get that choice. And in the meantime, figure out what you can do while you're still here.
