The guilty undertaker sighs
The lonesome organ grinder cries

Well you're not dead yet so it could be worse.
The cold water on your toes is a good wake-up call. So, too, are the half-eaten bodies lying in the surf, their wounds worse than anything a shark could land. Fuck. And atop it all is the sound of Ella, serenading you like some deranged siren, her music punctuated by the one thing sure to pierce your heart.
His laugh.
Also the one thing sure to keep you from going forward. Because seeing El you could survive, but seeing Ray? Again, and close enough to touch? Nope. No, you're level-headed and self-aware to know that this is a bad bad plan, because your son is dead and your wife is too and you have a warm bed and a hot woman waiting for you so maybe not the time to join them.
He's just a memory. Nothing more.
"We need t'get back," you grind out through clenched teeth, tearing your eyes away from where El and Ray definitely aren't splashing right out of reach. "Raz, ya hear? We need t'get back. Hey!" Raising your voice to whoever can hear, you attempt to grab Raza's arm and pull her with you. "GET AWAY FROM THE WATER!"
Zeph is still hallucinating but grabs Raza and tries to drag her away from the water, telling everyone else to retreat as well

The silver saxophones say I should refuse you
But it's not that way, I wasn't born to lose you
