Case Gone Arai (Arai sounds like awry)

The last thing I remember is intense pain. When I look down, my hands are transparent, like someone overlaid an image of them on the surface of the ground under me. And there's blood on my shirt and pants. Wait. Where are my feet?

Buddha be merciful, I'm... I'm dead, aren't I?

What happened?
...
When I read the newspaper over someone's shoulder, I find they wrote my demise off as a drunk driving accident.
I wouldn't be here if the case was that simple. But I drove Hana, my girlfriend, to dinner that night. I swear to you I didn’t drink.

Hook and Stakes

You've only got 6 days until the judgments on your soul start. Not being there or having regrets, like unfinished business, can doom you to not being reincarnated. You’ll be stuck wandering the earth.
