It looks like they're singing for a girl, but she won't move an inch. The song concludes without any applause.

Leaving the building, I spot a small chapel across the graveyard. For some reason, the stained glass panels are the tiniest bit nostalgic to me. Huh? Looks like someone's there.
"Holy water's way too cheesy, I doubt it'll be able to purify him." A red-headed boy said.
"You won't know unless you try, right?" A blonde boy said.
Though I'm a bit curious about their conversation... I begin to feel kind of odd. The back of my mind is burdened with a buzzing sensation. It's almost as if I've seen those two somewhere before...
"Heyo How are you feeling?" Hanako said.
"I-I'm fine" I replied.
"Hmm~ If that's the case then I suppose you still have a little bit to go. I'll see you later then, do your best!"
As I was walking in the graveyard, the boy in the cape suddenly called out to me. He then vanished off towards the back of the graveyard, but... What's there, I wonder? Time to secretly tail him.

In a forest some distance away from the graveyard, a solitary tombstone stands alone. Hanako's winding sparkling ornaments around the tombstone, as if he's decorating a christmas tree. I guess I should return to the hotel soon. Within rows of graves along the road back, there's a single brand-new tombstone. The name carved on the tombstone is: Y/n L/n?! The scenery before my eyes begins to warp.

When I woke up, I found myself in a courtyard of beautiful greenery, with a fountain surrounded by faintly shimmering butterflies. As if drawns towards it, I looked into the waters translucent surface. Then the water swayed gently and showed a different scene. A long-haired girl was crying. I found out her name is Yashiro and explained that she too, is a 'guest' in this Ghost Hotel.
"A-Are you okay? D-Don't tell me Hanako-kun hurt you d-didn't he?" Yashiro asked.
"No he didn't and I'm alright so don't cry anymore." I replied.
She sighed in relief. 'She's probably a friend of Hanako..' I thought. My thoughts were soon interrupted by Hanako's hakou-joudai floating in front of me.
"I'm sorry Yashiro-san, I have to get going now. Bye!" I said.
"Oh, it's alright! Bye!" Yashiro replied.

I walked back in the ghost hotel and met a blonde-haired boy.
"Hiya! You must be the newcomer. You're rooms ready, so I came to call you! And here's a welcome from me, to say that I look forward to working with you and all that!" He gave me my room key and a newly-concocted welcome drink. It was really beautiful, with sparkling gold dust floating in the sky blue liquid. When I thanked him, the boy seemed shyly delighted.
Well, I better get to my room now!
I got in and was amazed at how well decorated my room was!

I found my uniform in my cabinet. I tried it on and the size was just right. Weird... I looked at myself at the mirror and it was already clear that I'm apart of this hotel.
I'll do my best at work, starting tomorrow!
