Mourning Scent

This is the story of a man whose friend spent the night at his house...

Morning. Kosuke? Huh?

He's gone? Did he leave without saying goodbye?

What's that smell?

Thank you so much! You're a lifesaver!

No one was willing to come in and take the extra shift.

Don't mention it. We look out for each other, right?

Hey, haven't heard from you in a while. What's up?

I wanted to let you know... Kosuke's dead.

What?

They found his body in the mountains.

Said he had already been dead for days.

Then... the Kosuke who came to see me yesterday...

Was he a ghost?

The smell is worse!

Huh?

All empty, huh?

Hey, are you listening?

Rena

Oh, sorry.

Hey, I'm curious. Do you know any good ways for dealing with odors in rooms?

Odors? Yeah, I have some charcoal odor absorbers for just that.

Charcoal, huh? Probably can't go buy that at this hour.

Ugh, it reeks!
