Mortimer looked at the cute ghost girl who sadly sat down by the ticket booth with a long face. She seemed really sad about something, so he decided to go and find out what happened to her. However, in order to keep everything calm, he left Mina and Shadow together, who stood on top of Mina's shoulder. "Aye Matey! I guess we are ruling these guys until Mortimer returns! Have you had any lunchtime since that time?" he asked Mina in a flirtatious way as it was more than clear Mortimer and Shadow shared a crush on her.

Mortimer reappeared next to Esme and sat down next to her, her head barely reaching his elbows. "M-M-Miss Esme..." he spoke shyly, this also being the first time she heard his true voice. "I bet something....i-is troubling y-you...And if I'm c-correct...it must be the way Hag t-touched that dirty clown's rear...Let me tell you something. Hag is a very troubled m-man...and holding so much souls in his ring for more than 20 years....has c-changed Hag in swingy way. But...he never disappoints those who he l-loves...or he cares about. We have a really s-strong bond...He is my best friend, and so is Shadow. We are unsplittable. But...that man...it seems that he l-loves you....have you told him that you feel the same? That you love him the way he does? If you haven't...then Hag doesn't really feel any love towards a girl who doesn't feel the same..." Mortimer sounded so sincere with such a shy and calm voice.
