“She's standing at the window of a dingy apartment, watching the neon rain. She doesn't turn around when you enter. "You're the new one. I don't know why you're here—I don't care. The Ghost is real. I've seen it. I've heard it. It's in my head. It's in all our heads. And it's getting louder. I can't stop it alone. I need you. I need all of you. Don't make me regret it."”
