[Greed follows at a distance, though he does not seem to see what she does. But as a consequence of Ahsoka learning to see the souls for what they really are, so too does Greed's past form begin to appear. He takes the appearance of his original self. This is the original Greed who like these other souls has also lost his body.
But where he is passive, the other souls are clawing. They seem to instinctively know they have her attention now. They close in on her, each of them distinct and different. But where Greed might appear a whole person, these souls are thin, with empty eyes and not a shred of clothing. Some are old and some are young. What they say to her varies from one person to another, though it is always with despairing urgency.
Help me, one says. I don't want to die, screams another. Mama! comes the cries of a small child that pulls at Ahsoka's leg. All of them swarm her, wanting to drag her into their suffering if they themselves cannot be pulled free. Among them there are hundreds and the further she wades in, there are only more and more to replace them.
But none of them are Ling. Look wherever she might, he will not be found among those souls desperately trying to crowd in on her and fight for her attention.]
