They just have to make the case as to why they deserve life over death. Twenty years later, the quintet’s souls (along with a mysterious girl whose headless body was found in the wreckage of the crash and-since she was wearing the same school uniform-assumed to be a member of the choir) appear in the now dilapidated warehouse, only to be greeted by its own mechanical Fortune Teller, "The Amazing Karnak." Karnak himself is not long for the world (what with his wiring being gnawed on by a rat that's made its nest inside his case), but he does have legit mystical abilities-like the power to bring one of the kids back to life.
