D-Daemon Spade was---everyone else was...I, I don't understand what just happened and now--

it's not an illusion but--

and realization finally dawns on him]

... Welcome back.

I guess whatever's in charge here likes you.

[voice]

[reluctant10th]

Thank you.

[has finally calmed down and no longer freaking out]

M-maybe. I think it's more likely just [pause] coincidence or something.

[voice]

[gallitrap]

You think so? Not everyone gets to leave, after all. Even fewer come back.

[She might be teasing]

[reluctant10th]

I've never been the luckiest person around though.

[nervous laugh]

And um. The place I live in is haunted, so.

[really not that lucky even if he did get to leave and come back]

[gallitrap]

Haunted?

[reluctant10th]

There's a ghost living in it.

[sigh]

[gallitrap]

What sort? I'm guessing the ghost isn't friendly to you?

[... she does not sound fazed by this. awesome.]

[reluctant10th]

It doesn't seem to like me much, no. It likes scaring me the most, I think.

[Picking up on that]

Do you deal with ghosts often?

[gallitrap]

Oh! Um, spirits more than ghosts, really. ... But just about any crazy thing you can think of, I've probably seen something like it.

[beat.]

So, does this ghost haunt where you live here, or in your own world?

[reluctant10th]

[sounds like his life]

Is there a big difference between spirits and ghosts?

[Headshake. Then remembering the girl he's speaking to can't see him]

It haunts where I live here, yeah.

[gallitrap]

Ghosts used to be 'alive,' or had bodies of a sort, but spirits are spirits like that from the start. But that's... interesting, isn't it? Is it native, do you know?

[reluctant10th]

I see. Hm....

I think it is. It was haunting the place before I arrived.

[gallitrap]

Hm. That's strange, isn't it? Since natives here try to ignore us, most of the time, it seems strange that they would act differently as ghosts.

Where do you live? If you don't mind me asking, I mean.

[reluctant10th]

I've never thought about it like that before but it really is strange.

Oh, I live at the Carter Estate. It's in the Golden District.

[gallitrap]

Oh! That's-

[erm.]

I mean, I've heard of it, but I've never seen it.

[reluctant10th]

eh...?

[That's...did this girl already know about the estate?]

Ah. Well, if you take a walk in the Golden District, it's the only spooky looking mansion around.
