The frozen nature of her ghostly existence means she cannot stop loving Tom, even though she knows that he has moved on. However, Paige has grown to enjoy her life in "Deadtown," her name for the afterlife, although she is bitter about being sacrificed in the name of Kid Mercury's character development. She lives in an apartment building with a slam-poetry-loving gargoyle on the balcony, and has Odysseus (whom she thinks is a dick) for an upstairs neighbor. At the end of the book, Samantha Dean (a version of Alexandra DeWitt) moves into her building.
