Aw, Did You Have To Give Away Yours?

Aw, that sounds very nice.. do you know who's playing that tune?

Ah- Hello again. Yes, that would be the school of music next door. They have a tendency to leave their windows open during lessons — not that I mind in the slightest.

This tune sounds like that of one of the students I’ve heard practicing a couple of times in the last few weeks. They often make mistakes but once they are able to get it correct once, they tend to be able to get it correct each following time.

Nate is a golden retriever trapped in a human body (this is a joke, he's a person)! He died but is sort of a.. I'm not 100% sure what he is, but I think he's something along the lines of a ghost!

... I am fascinated by how that may work? Does he only appear under specific conditions or does his ghost-hood exist in some other fashion...?

Dr. Jekyll quietly worked on arranging some paperwork, a small breeze blowing in from the window and causing the edges of the papers to softly curl, Jekyll taking a single moment to smooth them back down.

Somewhere in the distance, the gentle sound of a piano could be heard playing from a nearby building. It would play the same few steps of a single tune, occasionally making a mistake before restarting the same tune following a gap of silence. Alongside it, the occasional sound of chatter and horses could be heard from the street.

After some time, Jekyll would quietly stand up, taking the papers and walking to the bookshelf where he would remove a folder and slip the papers inside. Then, he would tuck the folder into the back and return to his desk, taking a moment to look out the window and listen to the musical tune play gently; finally finishing the tune to the fullest for the first time since it had started before quieting.

Aw. No ghosts for the doctor. :(

Thank you but I am unfortunately not fond of witnessing spirits up close.

Aw, that's a little sad! Do you have any favorites?

It is not too bad. Someone I know tends to leave out food and water for the neighborhood strays nearby so occasionally I have the fortune of encountering them on my walks. As you may be able to infer, I am partial to cats, though I also am fond of horses!

Oh! I would appreciate that! I am not sure as to how that would work but it sounds fascinating!

Hi! How's it going? I'm Nate; I'm kind of a ghost because I died a couple of times!

Ah- Hello? I was not aware that you would be able to communicate so easily… I presumed that spirits must communicate rather shortly as mentioned in the many books.

… I do not believe that that was a proper way for me to greet you. My apologies. Hello, it is nice to meet you, Nate. I was told of you being deceased, I hope that whichever afterlife you may be participating in is acceptable…?

I was unable to find a carpenter in town who can repair the shelves so it unfortunately seems that I will be continuing to keep a portion of my materials boxed.

I appear to have garnered a rather dreadful headache over the night…

Oh, that sounds nice!! Is there anything specific you like to get from the bakery?

I tend to prefer some of the more floral-flavored items from bakeries. The scones are quite lovely. The bakery that I tend to go to has such a lovely frosting that they put on their rose scones that is just truly spectacular! It is quite a subtle flavor but I hardly have any complaints about it! Do you favor any baked items as well?

I apologize but I have not…?
