Ramash governed as if Rayatz never died. He called Rayatz the Nosi of our generation and deferred all the brochos to him (azkir al hazion), literally bringing all the correspondence to the grave. One might have thought that Ramash was Rayatz's secretary, shleping all the brown paper bags to the grave, where he was channeling his father-in-law.

If Raytz never died (as the Ramash himself will do in the future), then the “will to power” is null and void. Barry's claim on the ownership of the books from his grandfathers' library would be stealing from a person who is very much alive, as mentioned in this Sound No. 1.  But could the Will itself be stolen?
