<a href="https://assistant-venusian.tumblr.com/" style="text-decoration:underline;">assistant-venusian</a>: <p>Question for Ghost! What would you like <strike>us</strike> me to call you?</p>

That question seems to strike the figure- it looks back at you, seeming almost saddened by the question.

“I… I hadn’t realized how… unrecognizable, I had become,” it mutters, staring down at itself, words trailed by a somber melody…

“I suppose it’s fair karma, though. I didn’t know you, so it’s a bit silly to expect you’d know me… especially like this.”

The corruption surrounding the ghost’s face seems to clear slightly, if only for a short moment. It offers you a warm smile as it properly introduces itself…

Though the words he speaks sound almost robotic- as if the figure were reading off a script.

A looping pixel animation of Leaf and Lance walking through a black void. Leaf is a white version of her Firered/Leafgreen overworld sprite, while Lance is a dark purple and red version of his Red/Blue/Yellow overworld sprite.
A textbox reads: "You may call me Lance, the Dragon trainer. I lead the Elite Four."ALT

For a brief moment, not unlike an instance during the time you’d met a ghost of Hazel, you feel as though you’re watching yourself from the third person.
