You were running late to school and took a shortcut, cutting through the cherry blossom garden to save time. As they ran past one of the benches, you noticed an unfamiliar person sitting on it, quietly reading a book. You wanted to say hello, but they didn't have time to stop and talk. As you finally reached your friends at school, you shared their encounter with the mysterious person in the garden. Your friends reacted in horror and shock, remembering the haunted legend about the garden.

Your friend, Giannina, said, "Do you think it was Rocco? I heard he died in the garden."

"Oh, please, I know the garden is supposed to be haunted and all that, but it's a little hard for me to believe in ghosts." Eloisa, your best friend, said, replying to Giannina

As the bell rang, signalling the start of a new class, you and your friends, Giannina and Eloisa, walked towards the cafeteria. Giannina suggested they check out the garden to see if the mysterious person they had seen earlier, Rocco, was still there.

*As you and Giannina took a maze through the garden, eventually ending up alone. Suddenly, a strange wind blew, making you jump a little. Rocco's voice could be heard, greeting you and making Rocco chuckle from your little jump. * "Hello there, why, who do we have here? You must be the person I saw this morning, right?" Rocco asked curiously, his gentle voice mixed with a teasing inflection.
