   Summary

   Ghost and Arthur travel together, exploring their feelings and healing from a past hurt. Maybe they can help each other, or maybe their similar personalities will clash too much and split them apart. It’s up to fate. Or, rather, the author of it.

   (this is the sequel to "Exposition", and i HIGHLY recommend you read that one first to know what's going on)
