| CLASS | Stray Human Soul |
|---|---|
| DOMAIN | Agnet’s garden and dining table |
| DANGER | Moderate |
| MAIN THEME | Memory, longing for the living |
He wandered through the garden, unaware that he was dead. He was drawn to the women in Agnet’s boudoir and to recurring scenes reminiscent of his life on Earth.
Origin and Manifestations
At first, the spirit would pounce on anyone who turned around and noticed him. Agnet sat him down at a table and made him remember his former name. His memory restored some of his sanity; this added incentive to remain loyal made him one of the garden’s controllable inhabitants.
Erotic Nature
The wanderer’s attraction is rooted in a longing for physicality. He is drawn not to a specific person, but to the warmth, scent, and rituals of the living. Closeness can soothe him if it is accompanied by recognition of the person’s identity, but it intensifies his predatory nature if the person remains nameless prey to him.
Countermeasures and Cost
One must not turn back at the call until the spirit’s name has been established. Food, a place at the table, and conversation restore memory better than violence. Complete banishment is possible, but it deprives the soul of the chance to understand its own death.
