Sandy is happy mingling with everyone again. When it's not under attack by the forces of the apocalypse, Asgard is really a great place for a nice vacation. He enjoys food and dancing and miming out stories for eager Native children wanting to meet a hero.
He pays visits to each shrine. He remembers, and he pays his respects with the natives by scattering petals over the fountains. He gets some odd looks since it seems like he's giving an offering to himself, but in reality, he's giving an offering to everyone who suffered for the war. He will move on and the edge will dull, but for now, he still remembers how fresh the suffering was. It's different when you're there suffering with everyone else than when you're a spirit, sympathetically watching but never taking part.
When he catches his lantern, it glows so brightly that it hurts his eyes, and it turns into a stuffed golden stingray. And then he personally becomes more like a tiny Buddha than usual, because he is cuddling everyone who comes near him. Natives line up to touch him, and he doesn't mind. He sits for a while on a rock that glows with his touch, ruffling the hair of Natives and letting them cuddle him, but he eventually gets up and walks around, even more cheerful than usual (and that's saying something) as he playfully touches everything just so he can watch it glow.
