Can you hear me?

But you just answered me.

That was a mistake.
woman ghost
Please help me.

Find someone else.
woman ghost
You're the only one who can see me.
ryan (ml)
Exactly why I'm leaving.
ryan (ml)
I've been called worse.

Five minutes later...
Ryan sits at a coffee shop.
Peace.
Silence.
Finally.
male ghost
I didn't even ask anything yet.
ryan (ml)
My answer is still no.
male ghost
My wife can't find my wedding ring.
male ghost
It's under the floorboards in our old house.
ryan (ml)
Still not my problem.

Three hours later.
Ryan stands inside an old house.
He picks up a dusty ring.
male ghost
She'll finally know I never lost it.
ryan (ml)
Glad I could solve your afterlife crisis.
male ghost
You're a good person.
ryan (ml)
Don't spread rumors.
The ghost laughs before fading away.

Night.
Ryan walks home alone.
The street is unusually quiet.
Too quiet.
He stops walking.
A cold breeze passes him.
Something watches him from the darkness.
unknown voice
You can see us...
unknown voice
Interesting...
Two glowing red eyes appear in the shadows.
unknown voice
We'll meet again.
The eyes disappear.
Ryan's expression darkens.
ryan (ml)
Another problem.
Little did he know...
The next day, his life was about to change forever.
chapter 2
The next evening...
Ryan was returning home after helping another lost spirit.
ryan (ml)
I need a vacation.
He shoved his hands into his pockets and continued walking.
Suddenly, something caught his attention.
A girl stood alone near the sidewalk.
She looked confused.
Lost.
And completely unaware of her surroundings.
girl
Can you tell me where I am?
ryan (ml)
You're standing on a street.
ryan (ml)
Then congratulations.
girl
Are you always this rude?
The girl crossed her arms.
girl
And here I thought you looked nice.
ryan (ml)
That's your first mistake.
The girl rolled her eyes.
girl
Can you at least tell me what day it is?
girl
I don't remember anything.
girl
I don't remember how I got here.
girl
Or where I came from.
ryan (ml)
Then you probably hit your head.
Ryan looked at her carefully.
She seemed normal.
Human.
Just confused.
girl
I don't know my name.
She looked down at her school uniform.
girl
There's a name stitched on my dress.
ryan (ml)
So your name is Aria?
ryan (ml)
Nice to meet you.
aria (fl)
You don't sound happy about it.
aria (fl)
You're impossible
The air suddenly turned cold.
Two red eyes opened in the darkness.
Ryan grabbed her hand and pulled her away.
aria (fl)
What was that thing?
aria (fl)
Why was it after me?
aria (fl)
I don't remember anything...
ryan (ml)
That's the problem
ryan (ml)
How did you cross that fence?
Aria looked back.
There was no gate.
Ryan stared at her suspiciously.
