The warm hues of the sunset painted the sky as the mansion settled into the quiet lull of evening. Ryuto and his team gathered in the main hall to regroup after a day full of unexpected antics and ghostly mischief. While the spirit's pranks had kept them on their toes, everyone agreed that it was time to wrap things up and help the ghost find closure.
But as the shadows deepened and the mansion's flickering lanterns cast eerie glows on the walls, it became clear that the spirit wasn't done yet.
The group was halfway through dinner when the first sign of trouble appeared. They had just sat down to enjoy a simple meal, courtesy of Ruda, who had taken over the kitchen to avoid another "Nina disaster", when the chandelier above the table began to sway.
"Do you see that?" Nina whispered, pointing upward with her fork.
Ryuto nodded, his eyes narrowing. "It's back."
