So your precious child or Significant Other has tragically passed on to the next world. Well... so what? That doesn't mean you can't still enjoy their company in ''this'' one. Of course, people might think you're a bit ''strange'' if you dress your beloved's corpse in formal attire, tape a spaghetti fork to their hands and try to have a nice, one-sided conversation with them every evening over dinner, but they just wouldn't understand, not having suffered such a crushing loss themselves. Decomposition? What decomposition? Your loved one looks just as good as they did the day they... stopped moving for themselves and became less talkative. But they're still alive! Yes, they ''are.'' Anyone who tells you anything different is ''obviously'' confused, or jealous of your relationship. Yes... that's it... they're jealous, and they must be destroyed as soon as possible... before they're able to spread any...''nasty'' rumors about you...

* ''[[Hell Girl]]'' has an episode where a woman in a fishing village, fearing her sister will move away and leave her, kills her and keeps her corpse tied up in a shed. The woman then forms an equally creepy obsession with the murdered woman's daughter, who barely manages to avoid being killed and preserved in the same way.
