Oscar greets June in the afterlife, a small community known as Riverside. Oscar is excited to see her and continue their life together, as he had been awaiting her arrival. Oscar explains that people in the afterlife are "Formers", able to see the living, referred to as "Currents", who cannot see Formers. There is a fountain in the center of Riverside; the further away from the fountain that a Former moves, the weaker they feel, which prevents them from leaving. Oscar reveals that their lake house is present in Riverside, but when they go there, it is occupied by a family of Currents. Oscar enlists Mark, a teenaged Former, to haunt the family into leaving. Mark teaches them how to affect the real world by channeling their anger into the tips of their fingers, but only June is successful.

They continue their attempts to make friends with Kase, but she continues to shut them out, while making mysterious sounds within her house. Eventually, June decides to break into Kase's house to see what she is doing. Kase confronts her for this intrusion and invites her over. Kase shows June that she has been repeatedly trying to destroy a piece of furniture in her house, which keeps miraculously rebuilding itself.

To June's amazement, the man begins to feel tired, and Kase is rejuvenated, after which June does the same thing. Walking back towards Riverside, they encounter a mysterious man who invites them to Oceanside. Although Kase wants to go, June doesn't want to abandon Oscar, so they both return to Riverside.
