"This asshole's like the exact opposite of helpful," Rusty said bluntly. "Dropped some hints that might give me answers later on down the line but right now? Tell me jack all about what happens back home."
He sighed, raked his fingers through his hair. "I could probably get some answers, if I go talk to the one person I've got here from home, but he's from a couple years after me and I'm pretty sure he'd be even less helpful than the dead guy."
A snort, then. "Though the best part of it? Had to have been the conversations my parents had about whether or not it's possible to kill a ghost and who exactly they'd have to get help from in order to make it happen. Dad's got... issues with this guy, and Mom's about the same."
