Ophelia tries unsuccessfully to open the magic door that the ghost cat led her to. As she struggles, the stranger whose voice she heard when she initially discovered Phantasma appears. He’s tall and strikingly handsome, with white hair and emerald-green eyes. He seems surprised she was able to summon the door, though she cannot open it. He has no memory of their meeting the previous night. Ophelia realizes he is a Phantom, a ghost of a supernatural creature and the most powerful type of ghost or apparition. Their conversation is interrupted when Ophelia hears a scream that sounds like Genevieve’s voice. She bolts into the hallway to investigate, and when she turns back, the stranger and the cat are gone.
Ophelia doesn’t see Genevieve and thinks the voice might have been a cruel trick by Phantasma. She finds her way back to her room and unpacks before bathing. During her bath, she has lustful thoughts about the stranger. She goes to bed. When she wakes, there’s a ghoul haunting her bathroom, with gore and blood everywhere. Afraid, Ophelia tries to leave her room, but the door seems stuck. She manages to open it and falls into a void.
