I haven't ever tried to speak with them, Elena.

( every time he'd gotten close to them, they disappeared. he'd called a few questions to them but he'd never received answers so he assumed they just didn't talk or they couldn't talk. )

And there's no way you can have had your eye on all these spectres. There's no telling if this was the first time this happened here or the first time you saw it.

( like the fog, maybe this was a common occurrence for this place. )
