[ It would be a sorry thing if he was stuck here for all of this life, he privately thinks. But something seems to sway him to remain here, keeping him grounded, stuck in the perpetuity of dissatisfaction. He doesn't know why. Thinking about it too hard gives him a headache.
He'd rather get a headache about more fascinating things, like this kid in front of him and his weird little friend. ]

There are some religious beliefs, in far-off places I've only ever heard of, that our spirits exist somewhere outside of our bodies. It would make sense that they'd appear in stranger ways than we'd expect.
