Ghostlings practicing their “you’re my guardian” speech in front of a shiny surface.
Ghostlings who watch guardians pass by and imagine them being theirs.
Ghostlings who search for hundreds of years and lose their voice when they find their destined partner.

Ghosts who seek out the speaker because their guardian is gone, “speaker i can’t find my guardian. Speaker there were so many hive and he threw me and the gate closed. Speaker I don’t know what to do” and then they become silent observers again, like all those years ago, watching ghosts turn up with their newly risen guardians and feeling envy and hate and so much grief.

Oh my god my heart

Alternately: other guardians adopting Ghosts who no longer have a Guardian. Guardians with with two or more ghosts and they give all of them equal amounts of attention and work. Guardians going on rescue/recovery missions to either save the fallen guardians or give their ghosts closure. Ghosts who no longer have guardians working in the city to decrypt golden age medical devices to help people, ghosts in the city telling the stories of the guardians to the children- how brave they are and how hard they work, and the sacrifices they make for them. How much they love them. Ghosts who actually get second chances and feel a calling and a pull towards the Traveler- who can sometimes manage to choose a new Guardian for them. Ghosts who learn to be happy again. Ghosts who are comforted by the speaker in ways only he can comfort them.

I always felt like the dead Ghosts in D1 were Ghosts of Guardians who never made it home. They were in the crevices we found them in because in their pain and sorrow of losing their Guardians, they just laid down to die.

Okay.

No.

GO TO YOUR ROOM.
