[X] There is something strange outside...

---

"Have a seat," says Youmu. "I'll be right back with some snacks."

The half-ghost gives Vincent a tiny smile as she starts walking toward the kitchen. She seems to be in a good mood, and the atmosphere is quite pleasant between them. He almost regrets having to end this peaceful moment, but safety comes first. Before she can go beyond a few steps, he takes a firm grip on her wrist to stop her.

"Wait," he says.

"E-eh?"

"Something is wrong," says Vincent. "There is something strange outside... something dangerous."

"W-what?" cries the half-ghost as she pulls away from his grip. She frowns at him, half-expecting it to be a joke.

"I'm going to investigate," he says. "I really hope that I'm wrong about this."

"Huh?" says Youmu. "Wait, what are you -"

"Stay with the others," he says firmly.

Without waiting for her reply, Vincent starts running off into the grounds. A thick fog has enveloped the area, and visibility is poor. He moves on in the direction that feels coldest. There is something eerie about this atmosphere. It feels... inhuman.

He draws his sword as he walks forward. They are closer now. He can feel them. And as he approaches, their rank stench grows more intense. The smell of rotting flesh and blood becomes almost unbearable as he gets closer. The creatures' unintelligible moans and growls only confirm their presence.

Then suddenly, everything becomes silent. Vincent stops in his tracks to prepare for the attack. He tightens his grip on his blade as he checks for his gun with the other hand. This time, there is no mistake.

They are coming.
