Ghosts in the Machine

When October 31st came round, Tyson got a bit overexcited. Sweets, chocolate, sugar... and this year, all of his friends could come trick-or-treating with him!

There was just one small problem.

Kai.

He refused point blank to go anywhere near a fancy-dress shop, and on the day itself, pinned a notice to the dojo gates: No Trick-or-Treating Here.

"Spoilsport!"

"Hn."

And that was it. Tyson the Zombie left, Max the Ghost and Daichi the Mummy in tow.

Kai stayed behind, alone, in the dark.

There were enough ghosts and bogeymen in his head. He didn't need any more.
