[smiles sadly] I think Sara would have been glad to hear you say that.

[laughs, but then her expression takes on a more serious cast] You should know, it's not the happiest of stories. But I think...no, I'm sure Robert would want me to share it.

[pauses, taking a deep breath before she begins] Robert began visiting the house quite a long time ago. Really, if I told you the whole story of his visits, we'd be in this town for a very long time! But Robert was a rationalist. When he first came to the house, he didn't believe in magic--or ghosts. He only believed in science--the science of his world. And his was a world that had long since lost the technology that had built the house. And so Robert was skeptical of it--of me--at first. But eventually, he came to accept what I could do, and from that point, the house just made him curious.

And then...then a disease swept over Robert's world. Law and order collapsed and, eventually, his daughter fell ill. And so he came back to the house, looking for the only chance he could think of to save her.
