I pretty much agree with Mantis on this one.  Although
I think that Silk was at the point of suicide and had
not actually committed the act.  The blood mentioned
was from the final sacrifice ala Orpine. 
IMO this is the Occam's razor: one transference, two
despondent spirits attempting to cope, some things
happen (to be revealed to some extent or other in
RTW), then Silk's body containing Horn's and Silk's
spirit is abducted by Hari Mau.
