(Also it's fun to go four chapters back, and I'm curious to see if maybe something got canonically answered in the meantime, or maybe it's the opposite - things just got more confusing, lol. :D)

So what's the verdict? Clearer? More confusing? Both? :D

Yeah, there was something earlier in the novel that if a ghost gets killed, the soul is gone and can't reincarnate anymore. (This was mostly self-defense though, and I feel like an attacker doesn't have to be malicious or even sentient for self-defense to be okay. But the cosmology is definitely bullshit regardless. :D)

Evil Worldbuilding™ strikes again! Yeah, I don't blame SW for this, but the entire set-up sucks.

Well, according to the next chapters, other yao also know that something very bad is about to happen. But still I think there's something up with Fourth Uncle specifically!

I mean, for all we know the other yao know it only because he told them! (I don't think that's the implication, but, you know. For argument's sake. *g*)
