Is... there some reason your heart is set on that shirt?

[It doesn't look that good, man.]

[chromatized]

[ look.



he's worn uglier. ]

... I can't find any other button down shirts.

[rescuebullet]

[ Save this man. ]

... Do you prefer button downs?

[chromatized]

[ looks at her in his button down shirt with 3/4 sleeves ]

Yeah - it keeps me warm and it looks more professional. Plus having an extra layer keeps things clean if I spill anything while I'm cooking.

[ he probably thinks he looks better in them ]

[rescuebullet]

[She's out here in her two to three layers of outfit.]

You can cook? Having extra layers does make sense for that.

I wonder what's sticking the shirt to the mannequin.

[She'll start examining it.]

[chromatized]

Yeah - I've cooked for me and my brother since I was little, and I almost got a job as a chef.

As for the shirt... your guess is as good as mine. Is there any reason to glue a shirt to a dummy?

[ are you supposed to buy them as a set? ]

[rescuebullet]

Almost...?

If... it's the shop's favorite shirt and they don't want to get rid of it?

[chromatized]

There was an accident at the train station I was going to work at, so the job didn't work out.

[ Ludger, still holding onto the sleeve of the shirt, can't help but turn around and eye the empty shop. ]

... Don't tell me there are spirits in here too.

[rescuebullet]

The whole place seems... pretty haunted.

[chromatized]

I don't want to wear clothes with spirits attached!

[rescuebullet]

I don't blame you.

Is there something we can to do convince a spirit to go away?

[chromatized]

Give it to someone with a mana lobe?

[rescuebullet]

...


What is that?

[chromatized]

[ ah, right. ]

It's a part of the body that... produces mana. And spirits eat that...

[rescuebullet]

... Ghosts eat?

[chromatized]

I mean yeah - they need energy to keep going too. At least, spirits do.

[ he eyes the front of the store nervously. are ghosts the same as spirits, that is the question... ]

[rescuebullet]

Are ghosts and spirits the same sort of entity?
