Memory One You are strapped into a machine and you struggle against your bonds, looking desperately around the empty storeroom. But all you could see is.. You know her as your ex-girlfriend, dressed in full ghost-hunting armor. You fight back a feeling of desperation. If you are here, then that means that Vlad had taken Dani. He might be experimenting on her right now, and she was unstable. You have to get out of here.

And Valerie would never listen to anything a ghost had to say.

“Valerie! You don’t want to do this!”

Valerie smirks, glaring at you like you are just another ghost. A monster. And that was never going to stop hurting. Not when you remember what her smile was like.

“No, you don’t want me to do this.” She presses the controls for the machine, causing another electric shock to pass through you.

You bite back a scream. “Stop! I’ll tell you about the portals!” You start talking faster, desperate to get her to listen. Dani didn’t have time for this. “I’ll give you a map to the Ghost Zone, you can be the hero ghost hunter of Amity Park! But first, you need to let me go and we need to save Danielle!”

Valerie scoffs at you, her hand still hovering near the controls. “Why? Because she’s one of your kind? A ghost?”

“No!” Your voice cracks a little as you try to make her see, even if just a little. Ghosts weren’t all evil like she believed. “Because she’s one of yours! A human! She’s not just a ghost. She’s also a girl.”

And if saving her meant giving Valerie the clues to your own identity, that was a sacrifice you are willing to make.

Memory Two You are laying back against the steps in front of a school. After the last few days, it feels good to just sit and not think about anything.

But there was still something you need to do.

You glance up and back as you hears the sound of the door opening, and see your sister stepping out.

“So.”, You grin lazily up at her. “How long have you known?”

Jazz smiles proudly at you as she comes over. “About the test? For days. But I’m really proud of you for not cheating.”

“No, not that.” You shake his head as he pulls a small package out of your pocket and hand it up to her. “Your headband, your note. Your handwriting.”

Jazz blushes as she takes the package and tries to wave it off. “What? That? Oh, I didn’t write that! And there must be dozens of headbands.”

You give her an unimpressed stare. “Jazz.”

She sighs and sits down beside you. “Since the Spectra thing. I didn’t want to tell you until you wanted to tell me. It’s your secret.”

You'd thought it was something like that, as soon as you’d realized what the message meant. Well, after things had calmed down, and you’d figured out a way of being trapped ten years in the future of the Ghost Zone. That was so like Jazz.

You smile fondly up at her. “Well, it’s our secret now.”

You reach out to your older sister and wrap her in a hug. It feels good to finally be honest with her. Even if you can't talk to your parents yet.

After a moment Jazz pulls back from the hug and smiles fondly at
you. "Don’t think I’ll stop being meddling and overprotective."

You smile right back at her. “I wouldn’t have it any other way.“

Memory Three Danny sets his sister down in the hallway and backs up a step as he tries to catch his breath. He’d done it. He’d saved her. He’d finally done something right in this horrible, horrible week, even with the misery choking him. He barely even notices that there was something a bit odd in the way she was staring at him, when he feels a cold arm wrapping around his neck and yanking him through the wall into a storage room.

“Look at you,” she says with mock sweetness. He makes a desperate reach for the thermos, but she easily knocks it away before he could reach it.

“What are you? A ghost trying to be human?” She leans in and presses him further into the wall as her tone lowers with menace. “Or some creepy little boy with creepy little powers?”

Danny desperately tries to hold on to the small piece of confidence he’d managed to regain today, even as the misery of the last week threatened to drag him under again. This was Spectra’s power. He knew it was. She found all the little things about yourself you were uncertain or sensitive about, and she poked and prodded them until you were so busy drowning in misery that you couldn’t even see that she was feeding on you.

But the truth was… he didn’t know. He was afraid to know. ”Both!” he blurts out. “Neither! I don’t know?”

Spectra smirks as she sees weakness. “You’re a freak! Not a Ghost! Not a Boy!”

Danny winces as the words hit, and he begins to glow faintly as she starts to feed on his energy. As he fades, she casually discards him on the ground.

“Who cares for a thing like you?”
