"Hello, Mr. Han. You contacted us by phone earlier, hoping we could help you exorcise a ghost?"
"Mm... I'm not quite sure how to put this... I saw your ad in the newspaper. You're a... professional paranormal agency, right?"
"That's right."
"Mm... I've contacted other people before, but communication didn't go very smoothly. Actually, I don't believe in ghosts. I'm a doctor at the Rehabilitation Treatment Center affiliated with the police bureau. The patients there are criminals deemed not criminally responsible due to mental incapacity. About six months ago, a criminal was sentenced and added to my patient list. She was in very bad shape. We've tried all kinds of treatment over the past six months, but none of them have worked. So... I was hoping someone could help calm her down so she could cooperate with treatment."
"You want someone to come and pretend?"
"Yes. Sorry, this is a bit of an..."
"Mr. Han, I'm afraid we can't help with your situation."
"Mm, I know. Heh. I just... saw your ad in the classifieds, and suddenly... Sorry to bother you."
"It's all right."
Tap, tap, tap...
"...Could we just treat it like a normal... well, in your words, a commission? You could follow your usual procedures and give her a definite answer—that the ghost has been exorcised. Something like that? I'll still pay the usual fee."
"How about this, Mr. Han? Why don't you tell us what happened?"
"Okay."
Tap, tap, tap...
Rustle, rustle...
"Mr. Han?"
"Hmm?
