   Summary

   Kai unexpectedly dies during Monstrosity and ends up in Spectral Lands where he meets Morro.
   He deals with guilt of dying before reuniting with his team and leaving Nya and others behind and refuses to move on through the Well of the Lost to find peace, therefore he stays in Spectral Lands.
   Him and Morro soon bond and get on somewhat good terms as they try to fight off loneliness and guide souls to the Well, protect them and each other of Soul Suckers.
   Little do they know, that over some time, their somewhat partnership will soon bloom into an unexpected fountain of mixed feelings and desires.
