As he exited, everything was just the same as it was before.
Everything was bustling busy, but it took no notice to him, as if he didn't exist.
Then he took note the sprites.
Did they want him to follow them?
So, without thinking, he did.
He was being led into a dark alleyway, emitting a red glow.
"Hello?"
No response.
"Did you send me h-AHHHH!!!"
*thump*
"Are you alright?"
Tom got up, opening his eyes to the owner of that familiar voice.
"H-huh?..."
This person, see, he had light brown hair, with a slight blonde essence to it. His eyes were hazel colored but appeared to be glowing red.
He was about Tom's height, fair-skinned (but appeared pale, like a dead person), and wore a long, black overcoat.
Under that overcoat was, wait, was that a red hoodie? Yep. A red hoodie. Either it was covered in blood or it was in bad shape.
He was transparent, so he was another spirit, who wielded guns, pictures and other items Tom would relate to a friend, I mean frienemy he called Tord.
"T-tord? Wh-what are you doing here?"
The spirit giggled. Yep, he had the voice as well.
"I'm not Tord. I'm just taking his appearance. Let me help you." He let out his hands.
Tom hesitated.
"You don't have to be scared. It'll won't be forever."
Apparently, the spirit didn't take the personality.
"Fine."
As he grabbed the spirit's hands, he felt an electric shock, like he just got shot.
"What?!" He had that same feeling again. "Really? Do you have to turn me like this, again?"
"Well, if I didn't do that, again, people might think you're some sort of psycho stalker."
"What do you mean?"
"Um, the explanation is too complicated. Let's just go. We don't have much time."
"Okay..."
"Follow me!" The spirit said, flying up, to where Tom had fallen from.
"Wait, how?"
"You're temporarily a spirit again. You can fly up too! You're basically floating already."
The spirit was right.
So Tom tried pulling himself up, and it worked out anyway.

"So, where are we going?""Well, we might as well check out your friend Matt."
"Why? Isn't he like, in a party right now?"
"Yup."
"But how? I'm like, missing all this."
"J-just don't question logic, alright."
"Okay, okay. I'll just shut up now."
.....
"So,"
"What?" Okay, he's pissed.
"I-if you're not Tord then who are you then?"
