"there is no death. there is only a transition to a different sphere of consciousness. carol anne is not like those she's with. she is a living presence in their spiritual earthbound plane. they are attracted to the one thing about her that is different from themselves - her life force. It is very strong. it gives off its own illumination. it is a light that implies life and memory of love and home and earthly pleasures, something they desperately desire but can't have anymore. right now, she's the closest thing to that, and that is a terrible distraction from the real light that has finally come for them."
