Love that spooky old rhyme.

I like that Ianto is so considerate of a ghost.

Ianto cares, he'd help if he could. Ghosts are people too.

So do I, shame the prompter misquoted it though. I remember reciting it going up and down our stairs when I was a kid.

Thank you!

He's seen so much that is far more terrifying, ghosts are just ex-people. He has compassion for them rather than fear.

Thank you!

Bless Ianto for being so caring. I'm sure he'll figure out a way
to communicate and help

Nobody can deny that Ianto is the true carer of TW3, he even got interested in the ghosts.

He cares about everyone, alive, dead and stored in the vaults, or in spirit form, human or alien, makes no difference to him.

Thank you!
