After the old ghost found out Levi had a lingering attachment, causing his delay in entering the afterlife, his first reaction was to ask what it was.
If possible, he wanted to fulfill his wishes to spare himself from his regret.
Levi looked at the old ghost, then at Shannon, and after a moment, seemed to decide there was nothing to hide.
"I want to find my little sister," he said quietly.
Levi had been born into a home that could hardly be called decent, with a mother who died young and an abusive, alcoholic father.
He and his sister had grown up clinging to each other for warmth, relying on no one but themselves.
By the time he was barely a teenager, he had tried to stand up to their father, but it never worked.
When he turned 15, he dropped out of school to start working.
He bussed tables and hauled bricks at construction sites, anything to make money.
His one goal was simple—earn enough so he could take his sister away from that man.
His father eventually found out about Levi's plan. Instead of letting his sister go, he tightened his grip on her.
Considering Levi had started working, he knew his son would keep bringing money back as long as she was in the house.
Levi didn't just fail to save her—he ended up being exploited even more. If he brought home too little, he would still suffer abuse from his father.
Then one day, he broke. He ran away and left his sister behind.
He told himself it wasn't abandonment, that he was just leaving to get stronger and build a better life so he could come back and truly save her one day.
He told himself that repeatedly, but no matter how many times he tried to justify it, he knew the truth deep down.
He had prepared for everything—that she might resent him, that his father would make outrageous demands. He had thought of it all, except for the one thing he never saw coming.
Her sister had disappeared.
Just six months earlier, one of their father's drinking buddies came over and got handsy.. She cracked a bottle over his head, ran, and never looked back.
Levi lost it, breaking his father's legs himself. Then, he threw everything he had—every favor, every connection—into trying to find her.
When that didn't work, he worked harder, taking on every gig he could to boost his exposure. He figured if he got famous enough, she would see him. By then, maybe she would reach out.
However, even when he became a household name in Grimwell—right up until the day he died in that car crash—he never found her.
On the day he was buried, fans lined the entire street with white lilies. Yet, not a single one of them was his sister. He had lost her for good.
So, how could he possibly face moving on to the afterlife alone?
