The completely transformed "Wack Wells" remained silent, cradling the box, as he ascended the decaying stairs to the dilapidated "Ghost Ship."

Facing the direction of New Inn Port, he stood silently for a long time. The expression on his face constantly shifted, sometimes reminiscent and joyful, other times jealous and resentful. Throughout this process, the last vestige of human essence within him gradually peeled away.
