I'm a ghost.

Where are you?

By your side. Always.

Why are you here?

I thought we were friends.

Do you want to be friends?

I need to be friends.

What do you want to do?

How about we play a game?

Its a game for friends. Friends share.

How do you play it?

We give each other what we need.

I want you to find a knife.

Take the knife and touch your skin.

What next?

Slide it as far as you can.

I'm bledding now. What do I do?

You wait. I need space in your body to fit in.

I'm weak now. What do I do?

You wait. I need you to be weak so I can make you strong.

I'm dead now. What do I do?

You wait. I need your soul to float away.

I'm a ghost now. What do I do?

Its done. The game is over.

When do I get my company?

You'll never be alone again.

Where is everybody?

You can't see them, they're all ghosts.

I still feel alone. But they're there, right?

Of course. There are ghosts everywhere.

Can I have my body back?

You have to find another one. You have to play the game.
