[Tsuzuki is seen running at a speed that the gollems couldn't keep up. His communicator is picking up the side of his face. He looks dead serious.]

Where did he go?!

[He finally stops, glancing about. He looks down at his communicator, seeing its on.]

Everyone! Something has been manipulating some of us in the castle! If any of you recall what happened to you, please let me know, even its just that you blacked out! If anyone sees Shuuichi today, try to keep him in one place!

[He motions for Addy and Kia to go in different directions before taking off in a run again in a stairwell. The feed ends.]

It appears I am no longer the only one to notice.

[Tsuzuki pauses in his running.]

You've noticed as well? I can't help but think a spirit is at work here. I just need to find Shuuichi... I shouldn't have let him get away!

I have a protective barrier cast in my room. I also believe it is a spirit.

I thought something was odd when Ace was talking about being lonely. It was strange because they seemed themselves. The spirit must have watching us for some time. It's not like possessions I'm used to seeing.

It is almost time for the telling of 100 Ghost stories. It may calm the restless spirits.

But I fear she will be something of a more pressing problem.

100 Ghost stories? You're talking about the ritual of telling ghost stories, correct?

The spirit spoke of being lonely and people leaving. Could she be referring to her own regret, or could it be our presence?

I have many theories.

One would be that she is not a spirit, but an apparition of the immense sorrow suffered by this tower.

Or she is a woman who holds a lot of regret and was possibly left forgotten to die.

What if she's a mixture of both? Ghosts tend to take on the emotion around them. Sometimes they change from pacifistic to malevolent because of the emotions they take on. This ghost could have been here for some time, and because of all the changes going on in the Order, perhaps she's changed.

Another plausible theory.

My barrier will keep her at bay. I have only ever seen it broken once... but that was an interesting experiment....

Still, I'm not sure how I can draw out this spirit without harming the host. I'm not sure if my Ofuda would do more damage than good...

I will be able to do it if someone pays the price.

What would you require, Miss Yuuko? [He looks at the camera, seriously considering this.]
