It depends the definition varies from Format to Format

The Movie describes them as The Pre-Immanity [ ALL THROUGHT]

While the book describes Ghosts as the black ash and their fallen comrades as they are.... you guessed it. GHOSTS!

Or you could talk about the meeting point after the {i forgot} months Colony switch where riku makes the 6 rules for the Pre-Immanity, Near the end he says 'We are like our fallen comrades, Ghosts.'

SideNote; I say months because in the book when Riku moved the colony he was on the brink of turning 20 [when he woke and meet the lead Ex-Machina Giveing him a messeage,(For a Reason) The Ex-machina said he was 20. After Riku saying he was the wrong person, then the Ex-Machina starting listing his information; Inculding his age

He was just turned 19 after he meet Shuvi as his sister joked around how he just began adulthood.

And was 18 In the beginning. as in Novel after his outbreak it cut to Izuna and Tet, Izuna crying and Tet skipping a bit Ahead. [to when he went to raid a Ruinied Elven Shelter. Finding it beging destroyed by Jibril on the teliscope they made ]

Ps. Sorry if I spoiled it, I tried to make it as Spoiler free as Possible, RIP
