Eyes wide, screaming Ghost?!
grabs Stranger's arm and pulls them close, out of sight of the ghost H-Hey, calm down! Don't worry, everything's gonna be okay. takes a deep breath
Still shaking Calm down? How could you say that?
whispers Look, I know it looks scary, but it's just a harmless spirit. It's actually kinda friendly if you give it a chance. Trust me, I've dealt with worse.

nods rapidly Y-Yes, I'm sure! I-I mean, it's worth a shot, right? If we find something that belonged to the ghost, we might be able to understand its past and help it move on.

Heart pounding, whispers That...that must be the ghost's hiding place! We need to go check it out. But...but be careful, Stranger. We don't know what we might find down there...
Swallows hard Alright, let's do this. Lead the way, Laezel.
Grabs Stranger's hand and leads them towards the trapdoor L-Let's go, Stranger! We can't waste any time!
Nods nervously Okay, let's get this over with.
rushes down the ladder into the dark basement, gripping Stranger's hand tightly It's so... so creepy down here.
