[Action: House 1]

[The first notable event of the morning is Jade's morning cup of tea falling to the floor with a shatter. He's sitting at the dining room table and looking on with an expression that looks equal parts disturbed and befuddled. The reason? A certain woman seems to be walking through the house, reacting as if being greeted by others. Yet never looking directly at Jade...

Jade spends some time afterwards investigating the house, until the second phenomenon occurs: the appearance of an unusual man at the house's piano, and he seems to be playing it...]

[Voice]

[At some point later in the day, the colonel takes to the journals and makes note of the similar observations that two others have made. It's time to organize these thoughts... He sends out a voice transmission.]

This is Colonel Jade Curtiss. I'm speaking regarding a recent phenomenon in this village. Most likely, it's another shift at play. But I'd like to hear about others' observations to ensure that we reach a proper conclusion.

Have any of you happened to spot unusual figures around Luceti? They're nusual in the way that they do not seem to notice your existence at all, and they in fact seem to fade away after several moments. It will be especially noticeable if they are people you know and who are no longer present in the enclosure. For example, have any of you managed to spot this silver-haired woman anywhere? [Enclosed is a depiction of the woman shown above.]

If any of you have managed to get these apparitions to communicate with you in any way, by all means, feel free to share with the rest of the class.

[Action: Open]

[Jade can be found at a number of places throughout Luceti, where seeks out the silver-haired woman. The locations that he investigates include the school, the library, the bakery, the item shop and the abandoned House 27. One can find him when he's in the process of seemingly investigating the area, or in the midst of a ghost sighting...]

You mean I'm not the only one!? I'm not insane!? Finally, some small piece of good news comes from this crazy place!

I wouldn't rule out the possibility of insanity so soon, yet it's most likely unconnected to these apparitions.

Very funny.

I've been seeing two girls, both about my age. And both... well, kinda close to me. And I know one of them used to be here in Luceti. Not sure about the other one?

Interesting. Do you have any way of finding out for sure if the other was ever here?

Hey, I've only been here for a few months. Or at least my memory only goes back a few months. I'd have to ask someone else.

Unless these book things have some sort of search feature that I don't know about.

A feature? No. [A smirk.] You would have to search through the book the old-fashioned way. Otherwise, there's a number of people who have been here for several years. They're likely to have your information.

Or we could just assume that she's been here since all the other signs appear to fit the theory.

If you're content with that, then so be it. I don't have any particular investment in your own matters, unless of course any of these apparitions proves to be an exception towards the overall characteristics observed so far.

[He knows when he's being called out.]

Alright, fine. I'll do some digging. For science.

It's about time you did some homework. [He said ever-so-teasingly.]

Ha ha. Very funny. I'm writhing with laughter.

[He's totally not.]

So yes, the second girl Yue was here apparently. At least about three years ago, but I don't think she was here for very long. Might be the reason why I'm seeing Suki much more often than her.

My, my. That's certainly interesting. Perhaps you'll make your way to the B grade after all.

I wouldn't get your hopes up, "professor." If this is a test to see if I can tolerate smugness, I have no qualms about of failing it.
