Got Dropped into a Ghost Story, Still Gotta Work

I hadn't expected there to be a lunatic who could recognize someone just from the veins between their glove and sleeve.

'Agent Choi.'

And even less did I expect to be the one caught by it.

'This is driving me nuts.'

A situation that went beyond chilling, to the point that it made a person freeze.

But I couldn't afford to freeze.

I just had to show a little confusion. Anything more would look suspicious. So...

"Sorry?"

Might as well reverse the suspicion.

Feigning nervousness, I swallowed audibly as I looked at him.

Then, like someone cornered by a street cultist, I backed away.

"I, I'm s, sorry, but... I'm here with someone."
