" You… You're the failed Kusabi! Seijiro Makabe!" The ghost roared in response, moving towards her slowly. "Heh, well, end of the line for you!"

     Raising her camera, Mio inserted Type-Zero film and aimed. Walking back slowly to keep out of range, she waited for the perfect moment. "Waiting… waiting… NOW!" Pressing the shutter down, the room filled with a bright light as the Kusabi howled and disappeared. A small number appeared in the corner of the viewing window: 500. Sweet, 500 damage! This guy was going down in no time!

Moving around slowly to find him, Mio focused again, eyeing the lifebar. He had to be down at least a fourth. There was no way-

WHAT?! FULL LIFE?!

Furious at herself for somehow missing, Mio took another picture, watching the bar shrink down a third of the way. Ha. Now she was doin' good.

And he howled and disappeared again. And she searched for him.

And he had full life.

Mio felt like crying.
