    Summary

    He considered it as he was walking towards their meetspot. He should not only photograph Lu Guang, he should totally try drawing him, too. Paper, graphite, pen, acrylics, oilpaints, none of it worked underwater. Lu Guang had probably never seen a drawing or painting before. Maybe he could pick up some spraypaint and try his hand at graffitiing the inside of his cave. Or, he supposed he could just do that with regular paints…maybe a paint that stuck on stone? Water resistant? Oh my god, he should make a fresco—
    Xiaoshi was cut off in his thoughts when he heard a melody coming from in front of him. He checked his phone, which showed three-past two. But when he looked up again, Lu Guang was in front of him. Another soft melody.

    [One year ago, Xiaoshi nearly drowned at sea, gaining a lifelong lung injury in the incident. In the present, he still wants to see the ocean for himself. A certain someone he meets who lives on the seafloor might allow him to pursue those dreams.]

    Summary

    Things would fall on him and wake him up in the middle of the night. His laptop would get shut off in the middle of writing an essay. Notes and printed assignments would go missing. In one particularly egregious example, the ghost had carefully disassembled the sandwich Takumi had made himself for lunch and laid every ingredient out neatly on the kitchen counter, as if to mock him.

    It was clear the ghost was trying to bully him into moving out. Takumi, however, was nothing if not stubborn.

    in which takumi gets a roommate.
