Woooo... BOO! Argenta gave the ghost that crept up an annoyed look, then gave a slight hushhh to it. NOOOooooₒₒₒₒₒ... - The ghost vanishes into the distance, swept away by a strong gust of wind.

"Hmpf! Go to the haunted mansion, they say. You'll get scared and have fun, they say."

And so she fought her way through phantoms, zombies, ghouls, and other such unholy creatures, moving from room to room. Every time someone tried to scare her, violence was always the solution. And thus, she made it to the last, the darkest room of the house...

Suddenly, someone grabs her cloak from behind. She couldn't just break free, so she turned around. She can barely see the features in the dark, but it's another rotten zombie. This time there's something wrong. It doesn't try to just scare her. This time, she senses purpose. Clinging tightly with one hand, he raises the other, holding something in it.

Fwoosh!

Argenta cuts both hands off with a swift motion. The creature takes a step back and falls, tearing the curtain that hung behind him. In the moonlight, she sees that the hand is clutching a few pieces of paper. She unfolds one - it was labeled "For Linia" with some directions in uneven handwriting. Inside, there were all sorts of wishes and regrets. And then it dawns on her. It was Marcus, the officer above her. He was constantly babbling, "What a wonderful wife Linia is," or something like that. As soon as she took the papers, she was suddenly surrounded on all sides by others, her former colleagues. Each wanted her to convey something. The last one, a shy, dead boy, the cadet from her squad, gave her a heart-shaped piece of paper.

When she finally broke out of the mansion, her face was unusually pale even for her, and her hands were shaking. The last message was titled, "For Argenta"
