Oh my goodness, thank you so much!!! I'm thrilled you liked this. I mean, yes, Japanese ghosts are definitely freaky. It was my first thought when I saw a request for a ghost story in an unexpected setting. I simply couldn't pass up the chance!

Heh, I'm glad you didn't mind the Dumbledore bit. I was hoping to squeeze in a little more occult and a little less deus ex machina, but I was afraid it would be 25k and January and I would still be going. He seemed a good scapegoat what with the penchant for having people perform heroic tasks they don't even know they're supposed to be performing.

Always with the hopeful/happy endings from me. :P
