I totally didn't catch it was phantom's character...I just assumed it was another of the folk in your orphanage.  Yeah that's fine then by all means *face palm* so sorry I didn't catch that.  Though a ghost could make an interesting party member...  And you don't need to write about the kids suffering in the death hole...unless you want to...that sounds really depressing.  You can just mention they are dead.  But I always enjoy good melancholy writing!
