Oh, I love the second half! The ghosts trying to hold Erich back, him fighting them off Fritz and Biggles, the moment of crisis on the shore - I love how you’re so strongly in Erich’s POV that his fear that without him to protect Biggles the ghosts will get him seems completely valid - and then Biggles touches him and it suddenly inverts and it’s obvious that it’s Erich who’s nearly been swallowed up by them and Biggles has to get him away quickly. And I love the Otter as a safe space, and how Erich perceived the warmth and kindness of the airplane as a spell to banish the ghosts <333
