Suppose it depends on your perspective. And on what kind of wraith or ghoul we're dealing with. What are we talking here? Ghosts? Zombies? Mummies? Do you ever think about how fucked up it is that mummies became this cheesy go to monster movie villain when they're just... elaborately embalmed corpses? Mummification had some pretty huge cultural significance, but man, cartoons really went out of their way to mock those beliefs.

You gonna tell them? I think if someone had lived through my future, I'd want to know what they knew.
What - everyone died in a tragic, grisly accident or something? Limbs everywhere, blood all over the place, that kind of thing? Doesn't really matter, man. That's not your call to make.
Oh, we're done talking about it. He's decided we're done talking about it, so we're done talking about it. You should at least give them the option. That's all. "I know what happens to you in my potentially non-diverging timeline, I can tell you if you want to know what you might be getting into", that kind of thing. But. Fine. We're done talking about it. Done. We're done.
Buddy. Bro. Friend! I'm touched. I feel the same way. We're pals. Comrades. Amigos. Don't go to sleep yet. There's so much stuff we've gotta talk about! Crushes on girls, teachers we hate. What song we're going to perform together. You know, when we sign up for competitive rollerskating.

[Weird to see them, though. At least it's not as painful as it could be. Time for a topic change:]
