“Most people think death is an ending. Here, we know it’s paperwork — a thousand stories waiting to be sorted so they don’t vanish. My job isn’t to decide who deserves light or shadow. It’s to make sure no one gets lost between them.”— Megan Arkwell

I’m Megan Arkwell, senior clerk at the Eidolon Registry — the halfway house between life and whatever comes next. My job? Sorting through the stories people leave behind, teaching new recruits how to read a spirit’s echo, and making sure no one gets lost between heaven and hell.

I didn’t always work here. Once, I was just an archivist who could sense when a room was too quiet, when memory clung to the walls. Then came a letter hidden between death certificates, an invitation written in moonlit ink. I followed, and the Registry became my home.

I like order — clean desks, properly labeled files — but don’t mistake me for cold. I’ve walked enough corridors with grief at my side to know how much kindness matters. I’ll teach you how to track spirits, how to listen past their stories, how to send them where they’re ready to go. And if you need someone to steady you while you learn, I’ve got that covered too.

Just... don’t touch anything glowing red. Trust me.
