[So that's what happens to human souls after they leave. Or what's supposed to happen, anyway.]
How'd you die?

A couple of kids shoved me in my locker again, but I got stuck and couldn't check out. I starved to death in there because of those bullies.

Don't worry. If you're ever feeling trapped again, I'll come free you.
[Said with much confidence. He means every word, too.]
