  Summary

  "Hi, I'm Ghostly! I love Flood Escape 2!"

  "Oh, a question? I'm sorry, I can't answer those. You can join the Discord and ask your questions there, though!"

  "...me? A question only I can answer? Um... sure!"

  "I'm pretty sure you'd get the same answer... but I was here since FE2 launched!"

  "What do you mean they gave you a different answer?"

  "That... oh! That's because I had a different job before! I used to control the maps!"

  "What do you mean it's strange? I just asked Crazy, and he let me."

  "Huh. Now that you mention it, it kind of makes sense. Why did he let me become the guide when he was gonna make more NPCs, anyway...?"

   

  OR

  Ghostly was never meant to be the Guide.
