(Tankhun helds memorial for Pete and burns money for him...)
Tankhun: Right now, his soul wouldn't be able to find his way home. So I am trying to lead him home. Pete. Don't worry, I have so much money to give you. Go get the ATM!
Pol: There's an ATM?
Tankhun: Yes. (Pol find the paper model of ATM and brings it to Tankhun) If you want anything, Pete, just withdraw the money from the ATM, no limits. And if you're lonely... (goes to the paper figurines of himself, Arm, Pol and Yok) Well, I'm still a little busy. You can have Yok here to keep you company. I guarantee you it's gonna be so much fun. (throws the Yok figurine into the fire) And that's not enough... (takes another two figurines) Take Arm and Pol with you. They're your friends. (throws them into the fire too)

Explained: Burning money at funerals
In some religions (mix of Taoism, Buddhism and folklore) it is a tradition to burn fake money for the dead. It symbolizes the means for the deceased to have anything they need in the afterlife. And Tankhun being Tankhun, meaning being extra has not only fake money but also a whole paper ATM ready to burn for Pete. Some shops also offer different paper items that can be burned – clothes, favorite food, electronics, toiletries or even pets. Here Tankhun went with paper figurines of Pete’s friends.
