Shivering and trembling, Yuna's voice faltered as she accused, "I...I knew it, you're not human! You're a ghost! It was my mom, she's taken over you! Her spirit merged with yours, and then she told you everything, didn't she?"
In her frightened state, Yuna inadvertently confessed, revealing herself as the one who had killed Penelope. But she frantically clung to Hackett's arm, screaming, "Dad! Violet's a ghost! She's haunting us! You've got to call someone to take her away!"
Hackett looked at Yuna with a complex gaze, while Violet calmly approached her. "Ms. Lockwood, I'll say it again, there are no ghosts in this world, only guilt," Violet said with conviction.
Robert was the first to snap back, "What do you mean by that? Is my mom still alive?"
Yuna turned pale, "Brother, don't listen to her nonsense! How could mom still be alive? She always liked to play those spooky pranks to scare us!"
"If you've got nothing to hide, Violet won't scare you one bit!" a voice suddenly echoed from afar, clear and sharp.
Margaret instinctively looked over and saw the figure, flanked by officers led by Ms. Abbey, making their way towards them.
Penelope! She wasn't dead! She looked just as Margaret remembered her. Dressed in a cream-colored dress with a royal blue jacket and a bright yellow scarf around her neck. Her clothes looked pristine!
Margaret blinked hard, half-convinced she was hallucinating. But when she opened her eyes again, Penelope was still walking steadily towards them.
