Ghost wasn’t sure what compelled it to return to the Blue Lake before making its way to the Black Egg Temple, but finding Quirrel there, getting a chance for final goodbye, is a pleasant surprise. However… they recognize the far-off look in his eyes, the exhaustion in his voice. They know they will never see him again once they leave—and not just because of their own fate. It’d be hypocritical of them to stop him, and they refuse to be a hypocrite. Refuse to deny him that rest that he deserves. …It has never claimed to be selfless, though, and it will gladly take a final moment of selfishness and stay with him a little longer.
