They're a lot like normal people, you know? Just... okay, yeah, sometimes death makes you a little weird, but it's not like living people can't be pretty odd themselves. Case in point, right?
[That last comment comes with a gesture to himself-- he knows he can be weird to deal with, honestly, and it's always easiest to rib himself a bit before anyone else gets to it first.
He hasn't missed that distress on his face or the fidgeting, though, and after a little more consideration he offers:]
If it helps-- there's really no guarantee either way, either that dying certain ways will affect them or that they'll even be a ghost to begin with. A lot of people do move on when they pass, even if they were suffering at the time. But being a ghost, it's... I guess you could call it a second chance to find that peace? Make sure they can rest well. It's not like anybody else is going to do it, so I've never really minded them being around.
