"...Someone should see it," the Ghost admits finally, popping the last bite of the bark into his mouth and licking the last crumbs from his fingers. "This is a season for togetherness. It's important to understand each other – and some people won't make that easy. Still, that doesn't mean you need to suffer excessively. Be kind to yourself as well."

He wipes his hand on his robe before jovially thumping Dan on the back. If the smile is anything to judge by, he approves of Dan's plans already. "You aren't wrong," he says, though about which part is unclear. Maybe all of it.
