The camera pans across the dilapidated interior of a house purchased for a suspiciously low price, settling on Herald in the bedroom where a tragedy occurred centuries ago. The air grows heavy and cold as the lights flicker rhythmically. The strings of his guitar pluck themselves in the silence, a spectral melody hanging in the dark. At the foot of the bed, the air shimmers, revealing a translucent figure: a small boy in a blood-stained, antique tan suit. His bare feet hover inches above the floorboards, his wide eyes filled with sorrow rather than malice. Herald freezes, his heart pounding, as he locks eyes with the ghostly presence that has finally made itself known.
