Why does Mirah follow Alia for nearly a year?

Darmah, driven by vengeance, possesses Alia's body to confront and kill Fadli, sentencing him to hell for his sins. While Fadli faces justice, Darmah's spirit becomes damned through her act of murder, trapping her in the Netherworld rather than finding peace like Mirah.

Q10

Why does Mrs. Windu warn that the Netherworld portal isn't fully closed?

Mrs. Windu explains that because the portal wasn't fully sealed, an evil spirit remains in the mansion. This is hinted at when Nadia hears the sound of a girl asking to play and smells rotting, suggesting lingering supernatural threats that will require continued vigilance.
