Present-day
Physics lab
Roju continued his experiments and Keiro sighed.
Keiro: "There is a world outside this lab, Roju… Look outside, there are trees and birds on top of them. You should sometimes come out to the outside world. "
Or you won't know the ways of the world and some evil organization will use you to gain their end.
A bird chirped outside…Roju kept doing his experiments. Keiro kept the fruit juice she had brought for him on the lab desk and made her way back.

Basketball court
Keiro: "Shimlee will look around while I (cough)... question the new basketball players."
Captain X nodded and called the three guys towards them.
She first questioned the redhead.
Keiro: "You are Don Heeden? From Year 1 Class B?"
Don: "Yes."
Keiro: "Did you see anything strange since you joined last week?"
Don: "No."
Keiro: "Has anyone close to you passed away recently?"
Don: "No."
Keiro: "What type of girl do you like?"
Don: "Sorry?"
Keiro: "Are you a Pisces or an Aquarius?"
Shimlee quickly arrived and dragged Keiro away. Then they began the questioning of May Rusa.
Shimlee: "Tell me, what exactly did you see last night?"
Rusa: "It was like a huge shadow. It passed right in front of my eyes."
Keiro whispered to Shimlee. "I thought only you could see them. I mean ghosts."
Shimlee: "Some people see them at peculiar times in particular kinds of atmospheres. Like if it's too humid or too dark. Sometimes ghosts appear to normal people in the mist. There are particular atmospheres and states of mind when ghosts become visible. My ability is to see them under ordinary circumstances."
May Rusa looked at Shimlee with admiration.
May Rusa: "Do ghosts attack humans?"
Shimlee: "Humans are vain creatures that think every passing ghost is interested in them. Most ghosts have their own business."
Keiro: "By business, you mean..."
Shimlee: "They are just detached parts from their soul that could not go to the after-life because of a lingering or obsessive thought."
May Rusa: "So, if its problem remains unsolved, will I be able to see this ghost again?"
Keiro and Shimlee saw that May Rusa was very excited about the prospect.
Shimlee: "You have a thing for ghosts?"
May Rusa blushed and that's when it occurred to Keiro.
Keiro: "Did you become the new manager because you heard the previous manager saw a ghost?"
May Rusa nodded her head.
Keiro: "Did you work late into last night because you wanted to see it for yourself?"
May Rusa nodded her head again.
Keiro took May Rusa's hand in hers.
Keiro: "I'm sorry for thinking that you've ulterior motives."
May Rusa: "You don't think that I'm weird?"
Keiro: "What's so weird about having a ghost fetish?"
Shimlee: "Why didn't you join our ghost club?"
May Rusa: "I thought I was not qualified enough...I mean I cannot see ghosts yet..."
Shimlee and Keiro looked at each other. They extended their hands to May Rusa and said,
"Welcome to the ghost club!"
