Vampire holds Ethan's hand and drags him along.

    "Hey! Where're you taking me!?" Ethan tries to free his hand.

    "Stop trying, ghost. I'm way more powerful than you. Just follow me! You'll forget your human world." Enthusiasm is visible in Vampire's voice.

    Stomping his feet, Ethan gets along with Vampire to see what's so special that can make him forget his former world.

                   👻👻👻👻👻👻👻👻👻

    Ethan's eyes widen in shock, disbelief, and a hint of amusement along with disgust.

    "What in the name of Phantom is going on?"

    Vampire smirks victoriously seeing Ethan's amusement. "This is the Halloween party! The real one, not like those mere humans."

    "Wow! I don't wanna admit, but this is good. Who are those girls, by the way?" Ethan points at the row of girls dancing there.

    "They're not real." Vampire says nonchalantly. "Those're our skeltons community wearing costumes."

    "Skeleton? Then Victor must be here!"

    "Victor? Do you mean the guardian?" Ethan nodded.

    "Nah, he's not here. He's enjoying... somewhere." A teasing glem sparkles in Vampire's eyes.

    He again drags Ethan, making him startled. "Woah! Easy, vampire! Why are you creatures so enthusiastic!"

                   👻👻👻👻👻👻👻👻👻

    Vampire stops in front a ball room with a wide smile on his face while Ethan is panting heavily by his side with his hands on knees.

    Catching his breaths, Ethan takes a look at the surroundings. He's still panting, but his eyes sparkle with amusement.

    "They seem so happy and harmless." Ethan whispers to Vampire.

    Vampire looks at him with narrowed eyes, hands on hips. "Your human feelings are still in there, I guess." He chuckles, making Ethan confused.

    "What do you mean? Can't you see the happiness in their eyes? Look how beautifully those couples are dancing." Ethan points at the group of skeltons performances.

    Vampire exhales a deep breath and folds his hands against his chest. "We look happy doesn't mean we're harmless. We're ghosts. We're supposed to be scary and harming, and I'm proud we are."

    Ethan copies his gestures and says determinantly. "But I'm not."

    Vampire tilts his head to Ethan's side and says arrogantly. "You will. Soon."

    Ethan's face falls, and his face contorted in anguish.

    Sensing that Vampire sighs and holds his hand. "You wanted to Victor, right?" Ethan doesn't say anything.

    This time, Vampire walks, normally taking him along.

    They stop after a five minutes walk. Ethan's head still remains lolled.

    "Ah, cheer up, ghost! See, your Victor is there dancing with his girlfriend."

    Hearing the word girlfriend, Ethan's face instantly rises up to take in the view, and his jaw drops instantly.

    "So this's the job he's talking about?" Ethan gazes at dancing skeletal couples with wide eyes trying to process this realm whatabouts.

    His gaze falls on another skeletal figure who is sitting in a corner lost in thoughts, starting at the ground aimlessly.

    "Bob... " Ethan's voice trails off recognizing the figure.

    Vampire looks at Ethan with a hint of amusement. "You know him?"

    Ethan stroms towards Bob before shouting, "Of course, I do!"
