??? — 「Arㅌ#st□r■ry」 Rather than a ghost, it is more accurately a visual and mental phenomenon created by Orchestraful's guilt and memories. In other words, it is not Artistry. No matter how much Orchestraful believes it to be real, it is not the real Artistry. Appearance: Usually looks almost identical to Artistry when he was alive. However, as Orchestraful's mental state deteriorates, the details crumble. Examples: The face becomes slightly blurry. Parts of the hair look unfinished, like a sketch. Clothing patterns keep changing because Orchestraful can't remember them. Expressions become unnaturally fixed. Eye contact feels out of focus. Parts Orchestraful cannot remember are smudged into black, blurry shapes. If his health is poor, the human form might not be maintained at all. When Orchestraful researches for days without sleep, it calls out: "Mr. Orchestraful." The voice cuts out in the middle or sentences repeat strangely. "Have you eaten?" "H#ve y□u e■ten?" "Ea☆▪︎$" ———————— And the most important characteristic of the hallucination Artistry: The personality is different from the original Artistry. This is because it's not Artistry's persona, but the Artistry that Orchestraful remembers. If Orchestraful idealized Artistry too much, the hallucination may be depicted as an excessively ideal person. Conversely, if Orchestraful is drowning in guilt: "I died because of you, Mr. Orchestraful." It might say things like that. Even if the real Artistry never said such a thing. Orchestraful's guilt distorts the memory and shows it that way. Thus, the hallucination Artistry is both a source of comfort and a double-edged sword that can stab Orchestraful most cruelly. It occasionally says things the real Artistry would never say. -> It manifests a mix of not only the good parts of Artistry that Orchestraful remembers, but also: The parts Orchestraful feels guilty about. The parts Orchestraful fears. The parts where Orchestraful's memory is distorted. Things Orchestraful couldn't say to Artistry. Things Orchestraful wanted to hear from Artistry. Sometimes, it can say things far more cruel than the original Artistry ever would. Since it isn't real, any attempt to touch or contact it results in passing right through. While there are subtle differences from the original, it is noticeably shorter than Orchestraful.

The Real Artistry —————— Past: Bright, positive, and pure. Artistry was a stronger person than one might think. He appeared naive and innocent on the outside, but he was very firm about the things he loved. <- Especially magic. As someone who became a famous magician, he had immense love and pride in his work. He was the type of person who could say with a smile, "I really love magic!" So even after marrying Orchestraful, he wasn't someone who lived dependently on him. He had his own career, his own world, and his own people. <- This is the point that makes Orchestraful's loss even greater. To Orchestraful, Artistry was his entire life, but to Artistry, Orchestraful was one of the people he loved most in his life. ————— Present: Dead. It is already too late to turn back. Currently, Artistry's corpse is in the laboratory. Orchestraful is periodically using magic to preserve the body and prevent it from decaying.
