        ❝It was now the night of the Harvest festival.❞ Ezra and Em go around together. They went to one festival when Ezra was alive, but now it's their third time going and second time going with Ezra as a ghost.

They find a basket game that Ezra wanted to try. The booth director was confused, but let him go. Ezra was getting better at controlling his power. He could use all his strength and mind to move and touch things so tonight was gonna be a big test.

Ember waits for Ez as he plays the carnival game. A sharp poke stabs her side. Em looks over and sees Xavier.

"He's really trying to play basketball?" The Thorpe boy asks.

"He's getting better at his control. Said he wanted to test his strength out." Ember smiles at the ghost boy as he makes a basket.

"You could wait around for him or you can watch me soak the mayor at the dunk tank. I have a good arm." Xavier winks.

"Xav. No need for competition. Ezra is harmless. Besides, why fight for my company when I can just hang out with both of you?"

"Because you're always with him. And he doesn't like to share you."

"I'm not a toy. I can hang out with whoever I want, but I don't see many people wanting to hang out with Ez. I'm all he has." Em shrugs.

"Exactly you're all he has, but you have much more. Don't you get tired of him? I mean you can't even have physical touch."

"Look, Xavier." Xavier was taken back by the whole name and not nickname from Ember. "I don't know what game you're trynna play, but I'm not participating. If you want to hang out with me you can, but I can't leave Ezra."

"That's the thing. You can leave him. He just won't let you." Xavier's tone was a bit harsh.

"That's not--"
