That's where their opinions on this fact differ, just a little. Maybe Klaus doesn't need yet another ghost hanging around, but at least this one is his brother. At least this one is someone he knows. Someone he likes. Someone he trusts. Present-tense because he's here, and not as gone as he was for the last year, and it makes Klaus feel a little better than all the 'Ben was''s that happened for the last handful of months. On the rare occasions he could manage to talk about him at all, anyway.
"No... Dad shouldn't have pushed you to do something you weren't ready for. This- your-- it's his fault." Wasn't it so much easier to just blame Reginald for anything that ever went wrong in their lives? Truth told, most of the time it was just the truth.
"Kind of?" He shrugs, "Mostly, they just scream at me, and look like death, so you know--" A vague motion toward Ben. "Clearly a step up, here." At least Ben didn't look the way Klaus last remembered seeing him, twisted up in ways a human body is never meant to be. He's not sure he could do this if he had the evidence of his death with him.
