Got Dropped into a Ghost Story, Still Gotta Work

One rookie throwing a tantrum.

Two supervisors on the verge of tears.

All three are eight years old.

The situation was deteriorating beautifully.

'Damn it!'

This wasn't a discussion, it was just an expression of overwhelming emotion...!

I finally tried to explain the reason behind my 'No! We gotta keep looking!' with the intention of biting my tongue if necessary, but both of them were already getting swept up by the mood.

Tears spread quickly among children...!

"W-We still have time left, and you said we're only doing two days because of the rules. So I thought that meant we still have time to explore safely without getting contaminated..."

"...That's true."

"Then I'd like to keep looking, sir. Just one kid. Maybe they're here, and we just didn't find them!"

Child Agent Choi sniffled.
