"You don't remember your birth family?"
Eric shook his head. "I don't remember much before I was in that place… that man can do magic. I think he eased my mind."

'Is he hungry?' he gestured for his bowl.
The ghost boy nodded and licked his lips. Looking at him now, he resembled a cute hungry ghost. his mouth was watering so badly and his eyes were unfazed. He could not look at anything other than food.
'Can ghosts even eat?'
