Perhaps he can only remember this world when he is existing here. He might have met anything in the afterlife, but just not be able to access those memories. The fact he exists AND has his memories and personality shows some sort of afterlife.
Or perhaps his undead status is that of being spiritually alive in an undead body, while the afterlife implies being spiritually dead. Still have to work on that theory, i guess, but i’d say his soul remembers the afterlife, while his mind does not. 😉
The Gravestone kind of reminds me of the D&D spell “Speak with Dead.” Said spell partially animates a mostly-intact corpse with the residual imprint left behind by its former soul, leaving their soul undisturbed (and entirely unaware) wherever it’s resting. Obviously the Gravestone is far more powerful, but it seems to follow at least some of the same rules.
So essentially, Pablo’s real soul would be unaware of anything that happenned after his death, specially Jon’s (now former) Banestone problems and the existance (reincarnation ?) of Colindra as Pablo’s granddaughter. Interesting. Would be a serious conflict if a power (stone-based or not) would to summon the real souls later…
My line of thinking is that the Gravestone is merely emulating a soul, and is drawing on the residual imprint left behind by Pablo’s original soul on his corpse. Obviously said imprint is still being updated by the Gravestone, given the lack of obvious side-effects following Pablo’s .
So yes, I can see such a soul-summoning event ending one of three ways: outright conflict, happy bromance, or mutual acceptance.
…I’m really starting to hate WordPress’s HTML parser.

… I’m not crying, I swear. I just got something in my eyes.
Awww!
Awww too
Looks like although she did figure out she reminded him of her grandma while she was fighting him, she had yet to measure how much
