When a Ghost revives | When a Ghost revives their Chosen, they are bonded together from that point forward. A "neural symbiosis" begins between them. Every Ghost has one specific person they are meant to revive. For some, their Chosen is a sort of "soul mate" and they know instinctively when the right remains have been found; <ref>'''Bungie (2018/9/4)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Forsaken (Expansion)|Forsaken]] Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Savin (Ghost Stories)]]''</ref> for others, they simply search until they find someone they feel is worthy of the Light or has a "spark".<ref>'''Bungie (2018/9/4)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Forsaken (Expansion)|Forsaken]] Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Pressure]]''</ref><ref>'''Bungie (2018/9/4)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Forsaken (Expansion)|Forsaken]] Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Confession of Hope | Part One]]''</ref> Many Ghosts have spent the time since the Collapse searching fruitlessly for their Chosen. It is possible for a Ghost to bond to someone other than their original Chosen, as with [[Shin Malphur]], though this is extremely rare. In the worst case, their Chosen's corpse may be irretrievably destroyed before they could be revived, leaving the Ghost's quest eternally unfinished. <ref>'''Bungie (2018/9/4)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Forsaken (Expansion)|Forsaken]] Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Into the Fray]]''</ref> | ||
