My point is that Mayoi was dead, is still dead, and likely will remain dead. The fact that she just might remain available to the story doesn't change the fact that she is dead. With a form of belief-fuelled afterlife existing, it means death isn't the end for Monogatari characters. But that has always been the case, we ARE dealing with the supernatural here after all. What is real had never been as important as belief, which is why Kaiki treat fakes better than the real thing.
