Docia had this permanent frown on her face and she seemed ready to rudely counter whatever Melva said to her. However, since Melva had mentioned that she might know whoever the cause behind all of this strange phenomenon around the town, she looked more interested rather than irritated. Although this was all still speculation, she might think that something was better than nothing.
"And who is that? Why do you think this person might have something to do with this weird thing happening to us ghosts?" inquired Docia curiously. She was no longer angry and her tone of voice was not as rude as before.
Melva nodded in determination, as if it was something she was sure of even if it was not. She thought that giving Docia hope might stop her from being cranky and uncooperative all the time. If she made her think that they actually had an idea of what was happening, she might want to provide her details of the things that they had not found out yet.
