Hm... This is a nice story, well written, but I see one small problem
with it that might just amount to a difference of opinion, after all.
This is a setting where gods and demons are real, therefore, Heaven and
Hell are real. If Keiichi died after living such a rich and happy life,
I'm sure he went to heaven. Why isn't Bell up there at his side? That's
where he really would be - the thing in the grave is just a body, now :).
