"It is all real."

A ghost revealed itself in front of Cat.

Its body is created by a smoke in a bluish-green hue.

Its most notable is its face.

It's wearing a mask.

"Puff? Is that you? No, no. It can't be. My mind is playing tricks on me. You are outside."

"I am not who you think I am." The ghost replied

"Who are you?!"

"I am going to show you the reality."

"WHO ARE YOU?!"

 "I am No one."

"Get me out of here!"

"There's no point in continuing the fight, Cat."

"What do you mean?"

"He is but a figment of imagination right now."

"Who?"

"YOU WILL NEVER SEE HIM AGAIN IN THE DREAMLAND!"

"...no..."

The mask deformed into a creepy smile staring at Cat's soul.

"NO!"

"He's not in reality, and that is reality, Cat."

"NO! I WILL GET OUT OF HERE! WE WILL BE TOGETHER!"

"Never again, Cat. Never. Again."

"What have you done to him?"

"Oh, I did nothing to him. Perhaps fate did. I am just the one watching all of these things happen.

Then I took him out of reality, just like the job fate has given to me,

and for a special prize for giving me an easy job, I left you something.

A bitter pill that is so hard to swallow that it left you a stinging feeling in you heart.

That you could have done something, but no, you can't.

And now everything is put to plan, it will be in a matter of minutes that I shall take someone who treats you dearly...

...just to see how fine it is to be put into my place.

You will replace me, Cat, and I shall be free from my torment."

"NO! I won't be someone like you!"

"You are late, Cat. Too late."

The ghost slowly turned his back to Cat and slowly floated away.

"That ghost must be going somewhere."

Cat followed.

"PUFF! OUT OF THE WAY!" Parrot shouted

Puff evaded the charge. The two horned monster got its horns stuck in the wall.

"Where's the other one?"

The white monster emerged behind Snow.

"I should have not asked that question."

"He's here! Let get out of their battlefield before they trample us!"

"HOLY SHitake mushrooms!" Snow exclaimed

"Panda! Dog! Let's go!"

"We're right behind you!"
