You Can Have, or You Can Have Not
Dear Diary,
It’s been about three days since I've seen our mysterious hero. I still have yet to learn anything about him. From what I’ve seen he’s got some sort of ghost powers (?) How do you even get those??? Hypothesis: He was born in a lab and got injected with freaky ghost essence. So far, I’ve seen him like float, go through walls, and eject some sort of purple goo. The news has been calling him Enigma. I think that’s a pretty good name. I’ve drawn some sketches of him. He’s actually kind of cute for a guy..But that’s beside the point. I need to figure out what this dude’s deal is. This could be my big break. I just have to get closer.
- Yours truly, Josie P.

New Heights Central
7:10 AM
Navie J.
The train rumbled along the tracks. The rhythmic clatter of the wheels lulled those who weren't strong enough right to sleep. Outside the window the trees turned into townhouses. After hitting the outer city, the train reached the bridge heading to central New Heights. The skyline is littered with huge buildings, each climbing higher to the next, as if trying to escape the land into the sky. The brakes squealed as the train came to a stop, and the doors opened out to the platform. As expected, a hoard of people began to make their way on and off the train. Navie had no issue with this, fading to invisibility and stumbling through the train wall onto the platform. The sensation is one she'll never get used to. The scent of the city flooded her nose, a mixture of street food exhaust. Thankfully she had her ear plugs in, because even with them the sound of a thousand voices, cars, and sirens filled the air. Once she got onto the platform, she headed to a nearby alley. There, Navie put on her mask and headphones, connecting them to her music player. Then she began her search.
