With Daniel nowhere on the face of the planet, one second grinds by as lethargically as the next. Noe levitates off the ground. Picturing the scene that passed at the Ridge Public School, he addresses the ghosts the same way Feng Mian had, copying the sensation, rises, and falls of her voice.
"Verstorben," Noe's voice carries throughout the Dome for only the ghosts and mythical creatures to hear.
'Deceased.'
Every ghost snaps out of their trance and windingly turns their head to Noe.
"Elhunytál és wava spiriti paez a bolygó. Musaite félelem. Mae siend megmentett."
'You have passed away and are now a ghost roaming this planet. Do not be distressed. You are saved.'
Slowly, their spirits begin to burn orange-red until their ghostly forms disappear and form thousands of hovering flames across Northville.
"Andestus."
'Be forgiven.'
