Chapter 1[]
While taking a break from bridal training with Skeletiano and Orlando, you spot an eerie, transparent figure of a hooded man in the courtyard. To confirm your suspicions, you ask Skeletiano and Orlando to identify it, but it seems as though they cannot see it. You are sure of your senses, regardless of what the two men say, and walk over to the mysterious figure. As you approach it, you realize that it is indeed a man. You attempt to communicate with him, but he appears to be mumbling to himself and does not realize that you are trying to talk to him. After failing to capture his attention, you try to touch him but your hand passes through his body. The man leaves, muttering that no one can see him. You follow him to the castle and see that he is in anguish because no one has acknowledged his existence. With the intention of cheering him up, you offer some cookies to him, but again, he starts to sorrowfully walk away. Impatience compels you to force a cookie into his mouth and to both of your surprise, it goes in. At last, the man recognizes that you are trying to contact him and introduces himself as Nick. From a distance, you hear the sound of Orlando's voice calling you back to the castle. Before parting ways, Nick asks you to meet him again on Bone Mountain for a picnic. The following night, you join him on the top of the mountain. You tell him that you made scones just for him, but he is hesitant to accept your kind gesture because nobody has ever done such a thing for him. He feels awkward and unsure of how to react to the unfamiliar situation. Nick says that you're the first person in Niflheim to talk to him and is curious about what differentiates you from the everyone else he's tried to communicate with. You offer to provide food for him and tell him that it is your pleasure to do so. In gratitude, Nick takes your hand, making you wonder why he can touch you when you couldn't touch him before.
