He now had nothing to do except waiting in anxiety for the machine to work. Corner of his eye fell on the door which he had not closed. He flew to shut it but felt resistance from the other side.
Reaper's handle was blocking it from being closed. He tried to pull it towards him but there was another force stopping him from doing so. He spotted Grief's hand holding axe's other end.
It was like tug of war with reaper for a short time. Boone let it go and heard Grief crash on the other side. Then he locked the door while Grief was regrouping his strength.
Grief then broke the door as soon as he got on his feet.
What he saw after intruding in was Boone, who was ready to put the letter, with his name, inside the machine.
After centuries, Grief felt what being scared was like.
"No!" Grief pleaded, "Please don’t put it there. I – I have your son. He is not dead."
Boone got ready to drop letter inside the machine.
"Don’t do it. Otherwise I will kill your son." Grief threatened.
He threw the letter inside the noisy machine. Machine swallowed the letter and Grief disappeared in thin air. Boone knelt on the floor with the feeling of safety. He wanted to lie on the floor and watch the ceiling for the entire night.
Door opened with a wham.
Old Ghost was in there. He looked beat up and hurt. Most of all, he was bleeding.
"You are not a ghost?" Boone stood up.
He realized what the matter was when Old Ghost's eyes glowed like Woman in Blue's.
He was alive. Woman in Blue is in his body. He took longer time to process the happening. Old Ghost stretched his arm and got hold of the reaper.

Unable to think of anything, Boone picked a letter from the tray, "Don’t even think about it."
"Don’t try to trick me, Boone. You don’t even know my name." she said and threw her axe toward his direction.
Boone ducked and saved himself from the disaster.
Missing him, reaper axe flew towards the machine then collided with it in full impact. He had expected the dumb machine to let out steam till it began to make siren noise. The noise was sharp enough to penetrate into brain through ears.
Axe flew back to her hands after falling on the floor.
When she was about to hit Boone with it then a net shot out from the exhaust pipe of Revival Machine. The net fell on her, trapping her in the process.
All hail Crowman. Boone fistbumped the air. Crowman not only had added another door but also had made the machine catch the person who tried to do trick it.
She was struggling to get out from there, with the axe out of her reach.
Boone held it and lifted it high in the air. The reaper vanished when he was swinging it down.
Woman laughed through the net, trying to free herself, "I own it. My axe can't hurt me."
