  Summary

  Based on Chrissy Chlapecka's Christine

  Grace has been having a ghost in his dreams surrounded by an ocean of blood. The ghost's anger burdens him. He feels like he has known this ghost for so long as he speaks to him through song. Sometimes, he can feel him slipping through his fingers but hears him every night cycle.

  Grace didn't think too much on his continuous nightmares on their way back to Erid. That is until he and Rocky get a series of transmissions from an unknown origin. The transmissions are from another human calling out.

  Driven by Rocky's encouragement, Grace makes the decision to respond and lend what ever aid the two could provide. Even if his nightmares continue to haunt him, even when he is awake, becoming worse as they get closer to the mysterious red moon he has made the decision to save the owner of the mysterious voice.
