Earthbound - Realm of the dead

	“The way to do this...cannot be explained using words,” Poo said, looking around at his three friends with his narrow eyes. “I will go first, to the realm of the dead, set up a barrier, and wait. I need you to remain calm, and follow my trail. When all four of us are rejoined, we will transfer into these things you call robots.”
	The other three nodded, looking very nervous, and Poo smiled warmly. When he smiled, he looked just like the Gautama Buddha.
	“Don't worry. This will not be the first time you have all been there. You don't have to be so scared.”
	“This isn't our first time...?” Jeff blinked repeatedly. “......Oh......you must mean......the time I made that bet!”
	“That's right. I was the one who cleared that place for you,” Poo said, blinking slowly. “All manner of ghosts and demons can suddenly approach a soul who does not know what they are doing there. I kept them away, so that they did not interfere. …...But it was absolutely not an illusion. That world is real. The boy you saw when you were there, he was real. He came to you for a short while, from the realm of heaven.”
