The skeletons make themselves visible, now, as they attend to dinner: the table, the cooking, the arrangement. Insofar as Paul, having issued the invitation, permits assistance in his solemnly-undertaken task of providing social niceties.
God sits down to dinner with them, of course. It's nice to have one without Kaworu heaving up saltwater and Paul still miserably aglow with radiation. Nice to make small talk and hand plates around with comparably little tension as before.
