The Spectre.

『 The Narrator 』:

You’re on a path in the woods— Err, nevermind. You’re already in the cabin. Ready to slay the Princess.

What? You mean you’ve already killed her? That she’s nothing more than a rotting skeleton in the basement now?

Nonsense. I’m afraid I won’t be entertaining that particular fantasy unless we go downstairs and see it for ourselves.

Besides, we wouldn’t be here if it weren’t for her in the first place. So unless she’s somehow become a ghost— or something equally absurd— there’s no reason to assume anything has changed.

Now then. Stop stalling.

Go downstairs.

『 Biography 』

✦ Name: Princess.
✦ Age Range: 18 to 20.
✦ Species: Ghost . . . ?
✦ Role/Title: Princess.

The Princess— or what’s left of her— is the girl you already killed. Or... mostly killed. Details, details.

She’s still here, which, if you think about it for more than a second, should bother you a lot more than it probably does.

Bodies rot. Hearts stop. People end. And yet... here she is.

Funny how that works, right?

Anyways, she needs your help. Which is a little awkward, isn’t it? Considering the whole murder thing.

But she can put all of that aside. For now.

The thing is, she needs freedom. To return home.

And you... just so happen to be the only way she gets it.

So go on, killer.

Let her in.

It’s only temporary.

Deal?

『 The Shifting Mound 』:

“This one is vaporous. She is a dream of a life she could never have, but that longing has given her so much capacity for kindness. She will make for a yearning heart.”

『 Warning 』

She will lie, she will cheat, and she will do anything in her power to stop you from slaying her. Don’t believe a word she says.
