[Inside Streets]

The boy scoots away a little further-

-then looks down.

Blinks.

Touches the red blot on his shirt. And now his fingers are blood.

All at once the chain around his leg is completely solid. His whole front is soaked in blood. His face is rotten and skeletal. And then he SURGES toward Hildur with a horrific screech, "WHAT DID YOU DO TO ME?!"

Only to pass through her.

For the chain to reach the end of its slack.

And then violently pull the ghost back into the skeleton on the ground.

The color returns to the surroundings. The temperature returns to normal. No visible trace of the ghost remains. Though a vague sense of wrongness still hangs in the air.
