"Marlene, oh Marlene..."

Shortly after Robert became a ghost, an elder woman moved into the house he had died in. He spent years quietly observing her from afar, and discovered how lovely of a human being she was. The old lady was genuinely good and, eventually, Robert grew attached to her.

Touched by the pure soul he was now living with, the ghost understood what his purpose in the afterlife was. He was meant to take care of that sweet woman he had fallen for, but could never risk being seen: he was too afraid to scare her to death.
