[Editing in progress. I've returned to this fic after years and am trying to make it coherent.] It's been five months since the gang lost Lewis. But how, exactly? Arthur can't quite remember, and from what he knows, neither can Vivi; but it couldn't have just been an accident like the investigators had ruled. There had to be something else at play. So Arthur goes on a search to recover his lost memories and bring their friend justice, but something's wrong with Vivi... and Mystery seems more on-edge than usual... > Chapter 1 officially starts a week or so after 'Ghost'. CONTENT WARNING for swearing throughout and exploring trauma-based mental illness (PTSD).

After managing to escape the mansion, Vivi is left to ponder about who the mysterious ghost was and why he seems so familiar to her. Arthur becomes worried that she will remember and that their friendship will fall apart, so he does everything he can to prevent her from remembering the incident. Little does he know that Lewis has plans of his own. (Lewis/Vivi. A Mystery Skulls - Ghost fic.)
