Youichi liked talking to ghosts.

He couldn't talk to them, but he somehow connected with them. Some ghosts had interesting stories to tell. Even though he didn't understand some, he could feel what they felt. Sometimes, they would tell him bedtime stories or sing him lullabies, especially that lady with red eyes. She looked like Natsume-niichan, and she never talked but only watched.

Still, her voice was nice, and she helped him sleep each night.
