Ghost in the shell

Seth took a few moments to brace himself for the oncoming visual onslaught, before finally reactivating his soul sight, finding himself surrounded by ghastly reflections of horrific death's once more.

Their wailing words echoed within his mind once more as they clawed at him with desperate hands, a pleading look within their eyes. 

Yet despite that, all Seth could do was shake his head softly. Muttering under his breath, so that only the wisps would hear him and people wouldn't think he was talking to himself like a madman, Seth replied hesitantly.

"I... I can't. I don't know how to help you."

They clawed at him some more, wailing in utter desperation and still repeating their chant, before finally relenting when they realised Seth either couldn't help or just refused to. Once this realisation sunk into their ghostly minds, they all began to drift away.
