Ah. She hadn't chosen a room to stay in after all...

"If you want, you can stay in this room with me." Mio was willing to share the bed or even lay on the floor for Nana's convenience if she wanted. Then she wouldn't have to be alone. It would mean she could keep an eye on Nana during the night, too. If things were to get worse in the house, she didn't want her running straight into it...

Not that Mio could do much damage, but she could at least scout ahead...as she thought on these things, Nana's request for clarification caught her off guard. Presently it occurred to her that most people, including herself, were taught that ghosts weren't real. Best just to explain it.

"I'm sure..." She walked over to the nightstand, pulling out one of the drawers and sticking all but one of the photographs under a stack of papers. The photo she now held in her hand was a close shot of the broken neck man, "Most people don't believe they exist, though. I was always told they didn't, but before I came here my sister and I became trapped in a village known as 'the Lost Village'." She closed the drawer now, sitting down on the bed and patting the space next to her, continuing to look at Nana. This was going to be difficult to explain. "And...it was a literal ghost town. That's where I was before I found myself here. This place...at night...strange things appear. There's ghost and monsters, too."

Monsters, another thing she hadn't believed in. That is, until she saw those hulking, headless beasts and the shadows that ran from light.
