Summary
Todd and Neil did not return to the mortal plane immediately after their demise, they lingered in some sort of liminal space, not quite able to reach one another, the feeling was akin to having something resting on the tips of your fingers; you can reach out as far as you wish but you will never be able to form a firm enough grip to grasp it. There was not much of anything the boys could do in this space but think, it was an unusual feeling, pondering their existence when unsure if you even have the capacity for existence. Their thoughts would eventually fade, the only permanent thing about their situation was its impermanence, nothing lingered for too long but themselves.
Or,
Neil and Todd find themselves in the Dead Boy Detective Agencies office, having to come to terms with their new not life. Will they join the English boys in their plight to help other ghosts? Or will they complete their unfinished business themselves and step into Death's arms.
