Tommy was staring at the reflection with both awe and absolute horror. His great uncle… as some fantasy creature… and a ghost… was the one that kept haunting them. HE DIED THIRTY YEARS AGO, WHY WAS HE STILL THERE?!

-T̴͉̀o̵͓̓m̸̙̋ṃ̵̊y̸̟͘,̵̦̒ ̵̥̉c̸̩̎a̴̠͛l̶̮̊m̷͉̌ ̸̜͠d̷͍͋o̷̲͆w̷̜̌n̴͙̾.- hoarse voice spoke up, as man in the reflection raised his hands in calming manner. He wasn’t any sudden movement, not even trying to get nearer the boy. But Tommy still didn’t trust him, no way in the world!

- Don’t fucking tell me to calm down, you’re fucking haunitng me!- Teenager turned to him, trying to point at him with a microphone stand which was a mistake. Without a reflection he had no idea where the ghost was. Suddenly his chair turned on its own and he was again facing black monitor. And the ghost was much closer than before: he was the one that turned him around.

-L̵̤͂ḁ̶́n̸̍ͅġ̴̤u̵̠̽a̶͈̽g̸̼̾e̸̝̎,̸̟͊ ̸̬́y̴̺̍o̷͓̚ù̸̧n̶̪͘g̵͚͒ ̷̤̓m̴̢̓ą̴̀n̸̛̞ - he shook his finger in reprymendory maner, but smiled just after. Tommy saw as he let go of the chair and walked towards the bed to sit on it. He was strangely calm with the fact that the teenager could see him.

- Sorry- he murmured and the ghost nodded slightly.

- Can’t say clearly, but yeah, I can fucking hear ye just right- Tommy was felling weird talking to a reflection instead of actually him, tough the man didn’t seem to mind it at all.

- So… you were the ghost that kept helping Tubbo in the kitchen?- uncle Phil nodded once again.- Hey, why do you sound that funny? Is it because I can hear you from beyond the grave?-
