• Hawking entered Naruto’s body with Dream Walking, as they had agreed beforehand.

• Hawking finished the Naruto template and began Dream Walking with the Harry Potter template.

Hawking entered Harry Potter’s body through Dream Walking and discovered that Harry had been dead for five years. Believing his own use of Harry’s template might have caused Harry’s death, Hawking used Rinne Rebirth to revive him and asked what had happened.

• Hawking found Harry Potter’s body decayed inside a grave and read that Harry had died in 1995.
• Hawking suspected that repeatedly making Harry’s wand and other belongings disappear had contributed to his death during the fight against Voldemort.
• Hawking decided to repay Harry by using Rinne Rebirth, despite the risks of retrieving a soul in another world.
