Hearing her call his name, Seth's composure wavered. "Are you a person or a ghost?"

The wind blew, lifting Nina's hair, and with her pale face, she looked more haunting than ever.

Seth furrowed his brows, feeling immense pressure.

Nina was momentarily at a loss for words, afraid to say the wrong thing. However, she sensed that Seth harbored some fear-inducing secret.

Seth quickly calmed down, realizing the woman he feared was dead and could not be here.

He scrutinized Nina's face more closely, then narrowed his eyes dangerously. "No, you must be Nina! You actually dared to come here alone to find me. Aren't you afraid I'll kill you?" Nina's identity was exposed, but she held her ground and coldly smiled. "You figured it out. Though we've never met, you know my name, Seth. It seems there's a connection between us." Seth, wary of being tricked, asked, "Connection? What connection?"

Nina boldly stated, "The little dark room. You're the one who locked me in there!"

Seth was shocked. "You remember?"

Nina had been guessing, but his reaction confirmed it. She still did not understand their full connection. "Why were you able to get close to me?"
