homunculus-argument:

Random old finnish folklore I recall reading: The reason you have to close someone’s eyes after they die, or cover their eyes with a cloth if you can’t, is because the spirit of the newly passed is still in the body and even though it can’t move the eyes anymore, it can still see. You must avoid making eye contact with the dead body, because the soul of the newly dead is scared to go alone, and is looking for someone to come with them. If you lock eyes with the corpse, you will be the next to die.

…So is the second corpse still hazardous, then, or are they fine since they have the first one for company?

I must confess I don’t really know about the more exact details of the undead buddy system.
