Yeah, Ander and Ria are unfortunately legitimately dead due to being literally half-eaten by a Wraith and only didn’t pass into the afterlife because said Wraith developed a conscience as she was eating them and preserved them in her Dream out of guilt. Kiyoko, on the other hand, still made it into an astral body before her physical one was destroyed by a blast of magic. Perhaps there’s a bit of lag between the soul arriving on the Plane and the body being converted to manifest there, but in any case, her soul made it in before her body “died”. And it’s been living there since in a facsimile of her body.
In both cases, however, they are dwelling inside an area of the Astral Plane so with a proper portal, they could be temporarily manifested in the physical plane if summoned. For Kiyoko, she gains that ability after taking in the Champion’s chi (life energy) at least once and giving birth to Kinu. For Phyria, presumably Nareva gave her that ability directly by allowing the locket to provide a temporary magical shell.
Either way though, Kiyoko will gain a physical body later because she’s not dead; just incapable of being in the physical world. Ander and Phyria unfortunately were literally and undeniably killed in their sleep; the only place they can go if they leave Nareva’s Dream is the afterlife. There’s no true resurrecting the dead.
