It’s Thursday evening. Watanuki is shuffling into the lounge room in fluffy white slippers, humming the jingle to his favourite washing-powder commercial. The mug wrapped in his hands is deliciously warm; he breathes in the sweet smell of cocoa and smiles.
Outside, the night is cold and heavy. Spirits press against his skin, not quite friendly, but he’s used to these by now. They seem to like his house.
Some are shapeless splodges of energy, crawling down the walls. Others look like washed out people - except they never have the right number of fingers.
The rooms shimmer like underwater. It’s quiet enough, he supposes. They don’t speak. At least not when he’s around.
And so it is that Watanuki sits in a room full of dead people, sipping contentedly.
