I was just struck by an idea and formed a theory from that:
When Annie got the blinker stone she was mightily upset when she found out that can be considered a way to claim somebody. I don't know if this aspect of her personality has been explored at another time or if that was just a generalized annoyance at people taking liberties, or, and here's where the theory comes in, it signifies something the comic has yet to explore.
The theory I had was that at one point in the past Annie's ancestor agreed to become a psychopomp once she perished. Then she became with child, and the contract was left unresolved, since her life force/soul was never harvested and used to make the world spin. The Psychopomps however still think they have a claim on her services, and after Surma's passing claimed that she would join them once she died. Annie got upset, and refused. This is what they want from her, for she to fulfil her ancestor's agreement. Since she has inherited her life energy from that ancestor it could be argued that she is on the same agreement.
I am a bit doubtful if this theory holds water.
