But everyone can see the Extra. That's what makes the Calamity work; only Cole can see the truly dead.

It's nice, in a way, to think someone could help the characters who lost everything (like, say, Yumi) find peace. Because coming back as the Extra every year has got to be one of the worst versions of hell I can think of. Not only are your own memories false, not only do you not actually have any friends, but the people you've been manipulated into caring about are in mortal danger just because of your existence.
