CHAPTER 8

A while after going on and on with my attempt to convince the ghost about the bad taste of my flesh and blood, the ghost had not bothered me, and I was still alive.

I felt like I had been holding my breath practically forever, and I took a deep breath.

I didn’t know how long I’d been hiding in the darkness. It could have been night still, or it could have been morning. Having been deprived of visual and auditory info, I’d lost track of time.

I opened an eye ever so slowly. Okay, so, the situation wouldn’t have been different if I’d opened both eyes, but half of me dreaded facing reality. What if the ghost had turned into a monster with a mouth in her face and an additional giant mouth in the back of her head and was getting ready to eat me? I’d be badly, seriously traumatized if that were the case. I’d rather die without noticing my grim ending rather than go with a ton of fear and horror.

Anyway, nothing painful, scary, or creepy happened to me when I opened my eyes, and all my body parts were still attached to me. Phew… What a relief.

For a moment, I thought I was alone, but I was wrong. The whitish shadow was still in the same room I was stuck in.

The shadow was standing by the window. My heart made a huge thump the moment I’d recognized that. Instinctively, I was in a defense mode—except, I hadn’t figured out how to defend myself in this situation.

Eyes wide open, I watched the shadow. Even though the only part visible from the energy barrier was her back, I didn’t feel the creepiness and the aggressiveness from her anymore. From my point of view, the ghost’s back looked sad rather than sinister, and for some reason I couldn’t quite fathom, I felt a little bit teary as I kept observing her.

As my eyes adjusted the dark room with dim lights coming from outside, I saw the ghost’s shoulders trembling and her neck sagging. Compared to living humans, the ghost’s shadow was blurry, and it was harder to recognize each body part, but I could tell that she was crying.

The shadow seemed to be trying hard to keep the crying as subtle as possible, but her shoulders were heavily heaving. I couldn’t hear her voice, but she was in the middle of a full-blown sob.

As for me, in spite of all the moments of freaking out and regretting my decision for taking the exam, I found myself wondering why she was crying.

My fear for encountering the ghost was real and serious, but when I was simply scared of her, I didn’t bother to think that she used to be a living human like the rest of us. Just like anybody, she must have had her share of happiness, joy, sadness, and everything life had offered. I was a little taken aback when I found myself wondering why she was staying in this unit after she’d lost her body.
