In a quiet town, in a not-so-far off land... Well, it really isn't all that quiet, due to a poltergeist who is a bit of a menace. But hold on, a very tired-looking Grim Reaper has just shown up, and says that the Poltergeist can move onto the afterlife! In order to do that, the Poltergeist must let go of the regrets it has. But it doesn't remember anything! Will the poltergeist be able to move on? Only one way to find out!
