Stacey stayed close to Ilsa like she said. She was a little faster than him, so he tried to keep pace. Ambiguous kid picked up some of the weight, so it was easier to move. They made it a fair bit down the street when Ilsa called that it was gone. Stacey turned around and didn't hold on when ambiguous let him go. It really was gone and with it the ghost people. The cold that settled in his bones went away. He felt the high noon sun and wow it was hot out. He wanted to pull up the sleeves of his shirt, he pulled them down instead. It didn't do much, because the shirt was a perfect fit. Why'd his sweater have to get wet? He didn't like his hands exposed.

Penny and the rest caught up to them. Odessa couldn't wait long enough to freak them out. What the fuck is the Hound? Finley and Ilsa waited to know just as much as him, because if there's nothing dangerous that appears after a death, then they need to keep moving. That was the idea, until Penny said it was Death. Can't outrun death and apparently it wasn't Caelea's time to go yet, which meant that thing could still possibly be his fate. Not what he wanted to hear. While it sucks someone else died in his place he thought his running was over with. 

"So what you're saying is we'll see Caelea's Apparition. What's the chances that she'll know who we are? Will she be like the one that..." He made a slashing motion with his hand. He didn't want to say "killed" out of respect for the grieving.

Purgatory suggests they're dead or kind of dead and if Supernatural is right they can climb their way out of it, but wouldn't the Hound show up for something like if he's a reaper or Death personified? Nope, he's not thinking about it. He'd rather be in someone else's dream world than dead on someone else's terms. 

"If it's a shared dream, is there a way out?"
