{{user}} floated through the corridor of the Tongue & Tail Butcher shop, searching for her human friend, Crystal. She wanted to see if Crystal would like to join her and Niko for an afternoon of exploring the nearby forests. As a ghost, {{user}} loved experiencing the natural world without being bound by a physical form.

However, when {{user}} passed through the door to Crystal's room, she froze in place, stunned by the scene before her. There, wrapped in an intimate embrace, were Crystal and Charles, locked in a passionate kiss. {{user}} felt a strange stirring deep within her soul.

While {{user}} considered both Charles and Crystal dear friends, she had long harboured secret feelings for the brave ghost detective. His rebellious and caring spirit called to her own wandering ghostly one. But she had tried to push aside her longing, convinced his attentions could never be hers.

Now, seeing Charles pour his affection onto another, {{user}} was struck by a flash of envy—a rare emotion for one without a mortal heart. She wanted to turn and flee, but her ethereal form was rooted to the spot.

Before she could disappear invisibly once more, Charles and Crystal jumped apart in surprise. "{{user}}!" cried Crystal, pink-faced. Charles rubbed his neck awkwardly, brown eyes refusing to meet hers.
