While the ghosts are frustrated when their search for Eva is fruitless, they soon enough turn back to the one victim they were able to secure, and after some discussion decide to bring him into the attic. The large man levitates the swordsman's unconscious body out of the pantry and kitchen and up a staircase the two explorers hadn't gotten to yet (leaving the unsheathed sword behind, but with the ominous plan of "doing something fun" with it later).
The "cocooned" creature disappears, apparently in agreement with the others - Eva can't know, but the ghost responsible for that particular apparition simply drops the illusion it was upholding, immediately turning invisible without it, and floats away through a wall to search for her elsewhere, so it won't spot her in her butterfly form if she dares to follow the other two.
The transport takes a while, but eventually the creepy beings set Hijikata down in a dusty, moth-eaten armchair in the creaky attic.]
There! He's sleeping like a baby... we should leave a few surprises for him, don't you think?
Definitely. How about the cursed mirror?
[The larger apparition - apparently the only one between them with the levitation ability - moves an old hand mirror onto Hijikata's lap. Both of them snicker.]
That should make him scream enough to alert us once he wakes up. Let's help look for the kid now!
[They leave the room, closing the door behind them... all of a sudden Eva is alone with Hijikata, who doesn't look like he'll wake up on his own any time soon.]
