Sinful Deceased

The Sinful Deceased (罪深い故人) is a paranormal concept featured in Ellipsis. These are the souls of human beings who are classified as "morally and spiritually gray".

This means they haven't done enough grievous evil within their lifetimes to immediately warrant damnation, yet have been stained by a mortal sin in their past that negates immediate salvation. These souls are the focus of Samvara's collection, selecting one-hundred of those he finds most interesting. Any remaining or subsequent souls are sent to Hell.
