[ A pause. Something's a little off, but also a little familiar. Maybe it's why he hasn't opened the door. Ghosts don't always like to communicate in the same ways that people do, and if this one wants to pass notes under the door, that's fine. ]
[ He sits in front of the door, knees huddled up to his chest. He can talk to other people here so it's not as lonely, but most of them don't understand the ghost life. ]
One ghost to another. If you tell me something, I'll tell you something.
[ That doesn't sound great, but Vance also isn't one to assume that any given ghost is hostile. Not towards people who haven't wronged them, anyway. As far as he knows, this ghost just wants to talk to another ghost and play games. ]
Okay. Maybe we can play my favorite game next time.
[ He wonders how this mysterious sister is going to come back, but he doesn't figure he'll get answers (and if there is a real answer, he suspects it might be 'never', but he at least has enough tact around other ghosts not to rub it in). ]

Are you a ghost?
no subject
i don't want to be one, but i am for now.
no subject
[ He's a little less of one now. But still as much of a ghost as he is a person. ]
It sucks.
no subject
at least here i know other ghosts.
there were times when i was the only one who knew the truth.
no subject
[ So they weren't much to talk to, not that any of them really spoke to each other anyway. ]
What's the truth?
no subject
about the world i was in.
about who was really living.
about what happened to her.
here it's a lot less complicated.

One ghost to another. If you tell me something, I'll tell you something.
no subject
i just want her back.
and there's a way for me to get her, so it's less complicated.
i don't know what else to tell you.
and it's probably bad for me to ask about you.

Okay. I'll take a cookie then.
