Cream heard the knock and spent a moment trying to remember how you should greet someone who was visiting you in a new place... She was sure there was something you were suppsoed to do to show proper manners, but it was kind of hard to remember things like that when there were scary things going on everywhere to distract you.
Cream didn't like this place. This place was dark and scary and she didn't know anyone. But she liked Chidori. Even though she hadn't met her properly yet, Chidori felt safe and nice and it was betetr than being alone.
Cream opened the door very carefully and hoped it wasn't really one of the ghosts that Mister Manic had told her about...
