Ben: And they've made it so we'd still be alive, but we're stuck with whatever they chose would happen to us.
Jeff: So that's why I was wearing the mask. It's to cover up what happened to me.
[What happened, you may ask?
Well, the lanterns the trio found were cursed, and after they were killed by the spirits stuck in the lanterns, they each had 3 choices for how they can spend their afterlife. But the catch is, the spirits messed with their answers, which caused them to come back wrong, in one way or the other.]
