Soul
You spot a wispy shape flanked by ethereal orbs of flame. Don't be scared — this is just a friendly little soul on its way to get reincarnated into a new body.
An update is needed before you can continue but you have more than one WaniKani tab open.
Finish up what ever you are doing on the other tab(s), then close them to continue.
The update will complete automatically once the other tab(s) are closed.
