Summary (source):

When a reaper comes to collect Wallace Price from his own funeral, Wallace suspects he really might be dead.

Instead of leading him directly to the afterlife, the reaper takes him to a small village. On the outskirts, off the path through the woods, tucked between mountains, is a particular tea shop, run by a man named Hugo. Hugo is the tea shop's owner to locals and the ferryman to souls who need to cross over.

But Wallace isn't ready to abandon the life he barely lived. With Hugo's help, he finally starts to learn about all the things he missed in life.

"whiteboy who ate shit and died, then haunted his own funeral only to discover that the few people who actually attended were all talking about how much he sucked when he was alive. then he got dragged to a tea shop and forced into a found family and fell in gay love so hard that he came back to life. also got divorced once so that's cool"

I'm debating on whether or not he remembers after each visit, but I think it'd be fun, and a little weird, for Mei, Hugo, and Wallace to go ??? every time he shows up.

The first time, everything's normal with how they greet ghosts and they give him some tea- the works you know? Even Wallace is helping out. Nelson thinks it's funny that there's another ghost who figures out their powers quicker than Wallace and teases him about it. Nelson is also very appreciative that Danny can take and dish out jokes so well. Apollo is just a very happy for a new person to smell and play with.

The next time they're all a little confused, but hey whatever, maybe this time it'll be for real. They enjoy their time with Danny again and Danny even mentions a different ghost dog friend of his, which gets Apollo's tag wagging and very excited.

By the third time- which would be post-canon for UTWD- Wallace is very much "hey, you need to be more careful and stop doing stupid shit while you're alive"

Each visit after that boils down to "??? why is he still coming back what the heck. Also, he doesn't remember us, but he always knows how to use ghost powers instantly??? WHY?!" <- it is mostly Wallace saying this, the others just enjoy their time with Danny. Although, Hugo is also confused, but he is much more polite about it.
