After Bronya escorted Lin Feng to his executive suite at the Goethe Hotel, he investigated a wardrobe that seemed strangely compelling and discovered two ghost girls inside. They dragged him into the wardrobe, which toppled over and pinned all three of them beneath its broken wood.

• Lin Feng thanked Bronya for escorting him and invited her for coffee, but she declined because she had official documents to review.
• Lin Feng entered his room, noticed Himeko and Little March had not contacted him, and became fixated on the enormous wardrobe.

• Lin Feng transformed the Silver Demon into a baseball bat and leaned into the wardrobe, where two ghost girls startled him with eerie laughter.
• The ghost girls grabbed Lin Feng and dragged him inside, causing the wardrobe to topple and collapse with all three beneath them.

• Himeko asked whether Lin Feng cared about Bronya, and he said she was special and might otherwise fall amid the wind and snow.
