suspended upside down among the hungry ghosts

"Hey you," says a clear boy's voice, "are you a ghost or not? I don't remember."

The house is full of faint screams, but Tsuzuki barely even hears them now. What does bother him are these voices, talking quietly as if sharing a private joke.

"--disqualified from being human."

The other laughs in acquiescence. "I quite agree."

He used to know these people, he's sure of it, but lately they are always elsewhere.

Tsuzuki glimpses the boy in the corner of the room, drinking from a rusty tap. He smiles briefly in Tsuzuki's direction, and is gone.

Lovely, lovely, lovely. Want to keep you in a birdcage and force you to write me things.

That's really not encouraging, yo. O: *flees*

But I have seeds and dried corn for you... Nom nom nom.
