Ah, there’s nothing like a good ol' fashioned radio drama before bed! Especially one that involves ghosts…! Yep! Those sorts of shows sure are scary, aren’t they? Not that it… matters much! Heroes… h- have an unusually high tolerance for scary radio dra- [creaking sound - a floorboard, perhaps?] WH- WHAT WAS-?

You think it's scary? I think they're kind of funny, because they're not scary at all, really~!
Oh! Maybe it was your own foot on the floorboard?

A- and... I doubt that! It sounded like it was Something, you know? Like it was alive!

Well...you're alive. [A pause.] Ohhh, you mean like something else?

And there's more to life than what you see around you! Just 'cause you can't see ghosts doesn't mean they aren't th- there... maybe!

Ghosts aren't solid, right? So...how do they make noise on your floor?

Ghosts can will things to happen. Maybe! I don't really know!

Mm, well, actually I am, but I meant something else. I'm amazed at how much you know about ghosts! [Another giggle. She really does believe in spirits, but she's still a child and hasn't devoted much interest to them yet. Alfred could very well be her first 'teacher'.]

Now! The first thing you need to know about ghosts is that there's no such thing as a friendly ghost! There used to be a radio drama about a friendly ghost - it had a really catchy theme song - but that was a lie!

Really? No friendly ghosts...But what about the ghosts of someone like, your grandpapa or someone like that? They still wouldn't be friendly?

There's no reason for nice people NOT to pass on, so you don't have to worry about that! People like your grandpa are resting peacefully! The only reason that ghosts are still on our plain of existence is because they want to mess things up for us living folks! Because they're jealous!

Okay! It's very nice to meet you, Alfred~ My name is Greta!
That makes sense... [A small understanding "ah!"] They're jealous of us because...we're alive and they aren't?
