big fan of when a character dies and one of the people closest to them is so undone by grief and guilt that they start hallucinating them still being alive and having full blown conversations with them, only for it to be suddenly revealed that they've been interacting and conversing with their corpse this entire time while it becomes rotten and putrid and unrecognizable to everyone else. the gothic romance of it all.
and when the other people around them realize what's up and get soooooo mad about it like oh my god that's messed up that's not healthy you need to stop you need help... don't listen to them girl keep holding onto that bloated disintegrating corpse with a white knuckled grip until they have to physically tear you away from its side and you come away with handfuls of cloth and hair and fragments of bone clutched in your fists
