"A ghost we both know," Lambert will explain for Rita's benefit. He's just not going to add the bit where he's possessed Yuya before, at the Animal Fair -- from the sound of it, she probably wasn't aware of that. However, he has to wonder what it is in his expression that necessitates a kid telling him not to worry.

"He was the one who told me the Earth Spirit is dying," he adds, off-handedly and with a little frown. He elects not to mention that Tamaki may or not be going through a bit of identity crisis about whether he's from this world or not, as he doesn't really know what's up with that anyway.

"Apparently, it can talk to ghosts directly. Because ... it's where spirits here go when they die?" Lambert turns one hand palm-up, helplessly -- don't ask me what any of that means, I'm not some kind of spirit expert here. "Apparently werebeasts can contact it too, but they need to work harder for it."
