Rajanish
Ah, what a lovely creature is this. The ghost giggles a bit when the shadow creature proves to be able to shift planes - at least, they can travel themselves, similar to how Raj crosses once a year. Sometimes, he feels stronger, like when he met the crazy woman with her shiny coat. She had called herself a leader, but was as easily manipulated as most. Perhaps on purpose, but the dead scientist had doubted it.
It was fun while it lasted, though. Similar as to this little meeting of theirs, and the shadow creature's trip to Rajanish' realm, and then back again. Nothing in life is a competition to a dead man, but it is good to know that there are non-dead creatures that can cross, and the intelligence is stored for later.
The woman - whose strips have disappeared (fascination is written on the appaloosa's face as the ghost, too, creeps closer to study her) - is not dead, yet she asks a question that could, to her, prove very, very dangerous. She doesn't seem to care. Raj does, in a way, though she shouldn't expect that this means he'll keep her safe. One warning is all anyone ever gets; sometimes none. - the first is always the easiest - he informs her. There: one warning indeed. Does she still want to try and pass? She'll have to be dead or very close to it. He could arrange it, he thinks; he just needs one small disease (not even on her, he can take the mould off a plant, though it's easier if he can use her own sickness - it's faster). The shadow could arrange it too, though it's not the same as passing and probably won't allow her to go through the next veil - the one where the monsters had come from.
- not instruction - the hollow ghost then answers the shadow; - discovery -
Venturing into the unknown is always a risk. If someone else wants to take it for him, so that he can record the results: all the better.

No mind to think. No will to break.
No voice, to cry out suffering.
