*try to grab Johnny's hand*
No! Johnny!
*stare in shock at the spot where he was just a moment ago*
*whisper*
No, this can't be. It just can't be...
Ghost: *groans* "What... what happened?"
*turn around and glare at the ghost*
I don't know, except that my boyfriend couldn't get out of his ghost form and now he's gone!
Ghost: "What?"
*collapse, holding back tears*
I should have left this place the moment the portrait started laughing.
Ghost: *shriek* "Portrait!? You mean the portrait of my no-good brother?"
Huh?
Ghost: "He killed us all by poisoning our food, except the maid. She was away that day and only came home after dinner. After we all died, he killed her with an ax. But the police never found out he was the culprit and he left to go on a journey. I know his ghost is here, however, otherwise his portrait wouldn't be talking. Maybe you can get your boyfriend back if you confront him?"
*get on my feet and leave the library, determined to confront the portrait*
