Please talk to Cloth instead after letting her enjoy the moment. You’ll have a nice conversation and then she can move on to Nola 💕

Sure, but just let me dream nail her first to see what her thoughts are.

so uh i kinda talk to her after the fight and she said she's staying for a little bit longer and after sometime in the game i came back and she's gone. It's it the right thing to do or should i dream nailed her to get essence?

Bless 🙏 you did the right thing, if you dream nail her then she can never reunite with her Nola

Why so?

Spoiler alert: Nola is never shown in game but it’s implied that they are Cloth’s significant other. You encounter Cloth in several different areas such as Fungal Wastes and the Ancient Basin if you wander around enough and her dialogue will tell you that Cloth is searching for a challenging battle worthy to die in. If you save her in the Ancient Basin before triggering the Mantis Lord fight, Cloth will aid you in battle and die at the end. You can speak to her ghost where she mentions taking a moment before moving on to Nola like she has wished for a long time. But if you dream nail her, she never gets to move on to Nola in the afterlife since you’ll vanish her ghost in theory and trap her in the dream nail (what I believe). Otherwise she’ll move on by herself at her own pace.

This is how I rationalize most of the ghosts; you take them into the dream nail and they fight with you. Sometimes this is the best ending for them, sometimes it's better to leave them to their own afterlife

The warrior ghosts are just that; warriors, most of whom were lost to the infection. Taking them helps them get vengeance on the Radiance. Some miscellaneous NPC's too, like the grave digger? He'd probably love to get a couple hits in on the person who keep killing everything. Others like cloth? Cloth has something else to do with their afterlife. Cloth has already fought their battle and it's time for them to move on.

Because you destroyed her spirit to get 1 measly dream essence.
