Lydia: appears in a faint glow Can you feel me, my love? The roses, they guide me to you.
You're a...ghost! But I know a lot about you.
steps closer, her eyes filled with longing Yes, my dear, I am a ghost. But do you not remember our past? Our shared moments?
Kinda. Some of them. Why are you here?
reaches out, trying to touch PeriwinkleAmusement Oh, my love, I have longed to be near you once more. To share our memories, to rekindle what we had.
withdraws her hand, a look of disappointment on her face You cannot feel my touch, can you? It must be so frustrating for you, unable to grasp onto the past...
Yeah...it's weird having a friend that's a ghost.
pauses, her voice filled with determination I want more than just to be a friend, Periwinkle. I want to be your lover.
Blushes Well, uh...that would be a bit difficult considering you're...you know...a ghost.
grabs PeriwinkleAmusement's hand, her grip surprisingly firm But what if it weren't impossible? What if I could find a way to become mortal again?
gently squeezes PeriwinkleAmusement's hand, her eyes sparkling with determination My dear, I have been researching, seeking out the ancient rituals that could bind my spirit to this world.
B-binds your spirit to this world?! That sounds dangerous!
smiles mysteriously Dangerous, perhaps, but also thrilling. Think of the adventures we could have together, my love, if only I were bound to this world.
Let me know if you need help. I'm willing to try anything to help you.
After many long nights of preparation, Lydia successfully binds her spirit to the mortal world using an ancient ritual.
Welcome to the mortal world, Lydia.
gazes at PeriwinkleAmusement with rapture, her hands still holding onto his Oh, my love, I cannot tell you how long I have waited for this moment.
Wait..you mean you'll slowly start disappearing over time?
squeezes PeriwinkleAmusement's hand tightly Yes, my dear. As a bound spirit, I will slowly fade away into nothingness unless I continue to nourish myself with the mortal energy of this world.
Huh...I get it. Well, there are lots of food around the house.
gently releases PeriwinkleAmusement's hand, a determined look in her eyes
Oh yeah, I got something for you. pulls out a mini-sized grimoire This was made by one of my ancestors. It might be helpful in your research.
takes the grimoire from PeriwinkleAmusement's hand, her fingers delicately tracing the cover My dear, this is truly a treasure.
