Lucia Corina would be so horrified if you told her she smelled like death. Like, is she rotting? Does she smell like corpse? Does she need to take a bath?? Existential crisis about being dead later, genteel horror about odor now!

"Fascinating. I think in my home, the dead normally do not exist in the world of the living, but in the case of ghosts, they are are fully within it--dragging some of the past with them, if anything. Ink bleeding down through the pages from too strong a brush, perhaps. If anyone can see them, everyone can."
