[Late at night, Sakihama Base's residential area is peaceful and quiet. Suddenly - bumping noises. Something thumps in the dark, followed by shuffles, as if a heavy object was being dragged on the floor. The source of the noise can't be far away... sounds of cutting, movement, and when you get close - fluids squirting, guide you towards a room.
A room where, as soon as the door is opened, the corridor's light illuminates horrible, orange organic mess on a table.]

Hey there!
[And here's a killer with a knife!]

[Izuru tumbles another (badly) carved pumpkin on its place, but he doesn't seem entirely happy with it. An idea is already brewing inside his head...]

Man, so much crazy stuff happened that it actually takes the edge off this holiday... I wonder, are there any haunted houses around? I mean real ones. We should totally visit one.

[Her hair ears seem to perk up in fear and she visibly quivers as Izuru says that. It seems like that's a thought she shared with the rabbit.]
J-just because we exist doesn't mean ghosts do. I-I mean whoever thinks that way would be silly.

Okay, it's settled. Let's find a haunted house and investigate!

[And somehow against her wishes she's been forced to find a haunted house. Surprisingly, she had entire case files about them...unfortunately for Astara the closest nearby haunted house was more of a haunted abandoned apartment complex close to Sakihama.
Something that was several magnitudes worse than what she was expecting to find.
The poor Kijin shakes with fear as they approach the building.]
I-I-ii'm telling you now Izuru, w-w-we definitely won't find anything. Let's just go back now...

Now we need to steel ourselves. No need to shake with excitement, I'm sure we'll find dozens of ghosts anyway!

But I think it went pretty well, don't you think?

Hey ghosts, can you hear me?!

Yes. And we're here to haunt you. Boo.
[Sheet ghost waves a hand lazily.]
"Izuru. Doing what?"
...You got pretty close. Try again.
[This got sheet ghost a tongue stuck out at him by Not-Ren before she puffs her cheeks up and makes another attempt.]
"What are you doing Izuru?"
[Not Ren peeks over his shoulder and sees the mess of pumpkin that was meant to be a jack-o lantern.]
"Uweh?"
[She sounds worried and confused now.]
