Life After Death?

What had he been sent here to do, he wondered. It was too late for him to save Astra. Was he supposed to avenge her death? But he knew that Vincent was telling the truth when he said that her death had been accidental. According to Astra's own account, it had been her unfortunate sneeze that had broken Vincent's concentration and which presumably had been responsible for her demise.

Then Vincent spoke again to Fred Scissor-Hands. "Her death needn't be the end, you know. Her body is quite undamaged, and my skills include those of the necromancer. I can call her spirit back to her body."

Now Fred knew why he had been sent here: to prevent Vincent from doing what he proposed. For surely it would be an abomination to bring Astra back from the dead.

1. Apparently Fred's synchronisation with this world had taken a little time, for the other two suddenly became aware of him.
2. Fred Scissor-Hands was in favour of Astra's resurrection.
3. Fred Scissor-Hands was opposed to Astra's resurrection.
4. Fred Scissor-Hands asked whether Astra would really be just as before or whether she would be some sort of zombie.
