Ghost didn’t think anyone was home, had to go back into stealth mode when they realized you were.

I judge these stories by whether they make my face pull this expression—> D-:}

I immediately thought of that story too! And before she went out, she heard a voice say to her, “The thing trying to lure you outside is not something you want to meet.”

No sequels, remakes, or recognizable I.P.? No problem.
