One of them died in a skateboarding accident some time shortly after high school and I really hope I didn't doom the poor guy to an afterlife of following me around and waiting to be released from the contract. Even if he was a mildly insufferable Beatles fan.
What if I do that and he ends up having to deal with a bunch of Mormons? He hated Mormons. What if he's just chilling in the (Mormon-free) Soul Cairn, safe in the knowledge that the jackass who bound him there doesn't have access to an enchanting table, so there's no chance of getting vaporized into Ideal Masters chow?
uh oh you need to release his soul

Okay that's a fate worse than death.
You should get a soul gem so you can use that soul for something.
