As if the pursuit of money, and goods that take money, enabled them to take form in the three dimensions known by some as reality. They had body upgrades when they disconnected from money, and could no longer take form in the same reality. Even their powder could not support taking form there.
Very interesting story!!!
Thanks for the beautiful interpretation... I hadn't made up my mind what it meant, or could mean. Just had this idea.
I love your fiction. And your drawings of course.
