He can't hug her, Caleb. She's a ghost. She's non-corporeal!
...
Well, he assumes she is, anyway. Truth be told, he hasn't even tried to touch her. It's too weird. The thought makes his skin crawl. But he shrugs, feigning indifference because what else can he do? Get all emotional about a woman who died when he was 2? She's even more of a stranger than his old man was.
"Yeah, that's mom." Said with a huff, like she's so embarrassing. "I told her to stop getting blood everywhere, but does she listen? Noooo..."
Not that her ghost-blood does anything. It just fades away whenever she does. Also, it's beside the point, because it's probably pretty obvious that he's forcing the whole careless asshole thing even more than usual. Defense mechanisms, ahoy.
"Nah. Don't worry: turns out you can walk off getting thrown into a flaming portal to nowhere."
