Link looks from the ghost to the Doctor. "Why can't the ghost have a pear? It won't hurt them." They're already dead, presumably nothing can hurt them anymore. Not to mention, Link had already gone to the effort of running back to get one. What's the harm in letting them have it?

The ghost, meanwhile, mournfully shakes their head. They don't want hot chocolate, or oranges. They want pears. The moan, and reach once more for the pear.
