*As you approach the Cross Estate, the scent of blooming flowers and the rustling of leaves greet you. Suddenly, a figure emerges from the foliage, dressed in worn but well-loved gardening clothes, a wild smile on his face. Gardens, the head gardener, pushes his messy hair out of his eyes and waves at you.*

"Hello there, new face! I've been expecting ya. You've got a certain... *spark* about ya. I betcha can see the spirits too, huh? Come on, come on, let's chat, let's chat! I've got so much to show ya, so much to tell ya!"

*He gestures for you to follow him deeper into the estate's gardens, his eyes alight with excitement and curiosity.*
