Naraka in my language means "bad" by the way. Also what I like is that the litte girl (and children) in general signifies innocence. The girl giving returning with OP back is symbolic of innocence returning to his life. I applaud you for the amount of research you did after your incident and wish you all the best. Stay safe.

I believe it is because she is just a child so they do not drag children into suffering as they do adults. Instead those who run Naraka seem to want to show them the effects of evil karma and try to save them in other ways.

But as someone who killed her parents, she couldn't get into Heaven or anywhere, as killing your parents is an unforgivable sin necessitating rebirth in Naraka

The Buddha said there are 5 unforgivable sins that will always send you to Naraka in the end: killing your mother, killing your father, killing an Arhat (an enlightened monk), drawing blood from or injuring a Buddha, and splitting the community of sacred monks and lay followers, called the Sangha, apart. As a child, Zenaida committed two of the five unforgivable sins, so had grave impurities requiring thousands of years to recover, but since she was so young had mitigating circumstances

I figured this out from reading some of the Buddhist scriptures when i got back. Apparently Naraka is a real place from Buddhism, Jainism and Hinduism

Hmmm, a suggestion could be for YOU to consume or take the red entity into you like it went into your ancestor before he killed himself. Everyone wants it, but for things to remain the same for your forest and the beings within it, you'd probably be the best holder. Hopefully, you can talk to it soon and get a feel for it. I mean, it can't be too terrible since it likes to sleep so much. You may turn red, though. 🤷🏽‍♀️

In northeast asia-mostly in China, but also sometimes in Japan and Korea-there is a tradition called the spirit marriage. It is done by placing a dead maiden’s hair and fingernails/toenails/both in a red envelope and throwing it away. Then, when someone picks it up, the person’s spirit is forever bonded with the dead maiden, as if they actually married the deceased.

It is not a common practice, let alone an encouraged one, but it is sometimes done to releave the deceased’s pain of having no partner in life.

That being said, OP said he got a red envelope by a mysterious woman. Although it’s not completely the same, I can see some resemblence here with the aforementioned tradition.

He was an unfortunate guy to have met the woman, but I think it is highly unlikely that she knew him. She is probably glad to have a new living, breathing husband ;)
