Well, it can't be helped I guess. What is fun is fun, we are going to stop just because we
might(or even "probably") be wrong. If someone who actually understand something, please say something.

Spoiler for Untitled 1, Yuuki ver. (Shirogane rough draft):
I am a ghost, the boy had said when we earlier met about xxxx.
When I asked for a name, "I do not have a name" was his response. "Since I do not have a name, I am a ghost. You are probably the same." he had continued.
That is correct. I am also a ghost. A being able to communicate with ghosts must also be a ghost. Like I am now.
"Well then, shall we go?"
He said, and I followed. His steps were so light, the boy looked completely alive. "Where will you go?" he asked me, as he stopped moving his feet and turned around.
"You can go anywhere. Was there a place you wanted to go?"
I was lost in thought. Where have I gotten to? What is this place? Why am I here? {Note: SO wanting to make a "Nothing" reference... but I won't}
As I stood there, I couldn't help but gaze into the boy's dark eyes.
"Weren't you thinking of going to xxxx?"
The boy had discerned my answer. When I heard those words, I finally understood what my role was. Yes, I was on my way there. How could I forget? For this important matter, I had a reason to live and exist.
It is something that I must not forget.
"So, that's that, then."
The boy smiled happily. I nodded, and expressed my gratitude.
"Good bye."
The boy disappeared, leaving me by myself. He had probably returned to his place, and in the same way, I had to return to mine.
White things were falling from the sky. Numerous, tiny, flutter, aqueous crystals. They fell to the earth and vanished, as though they were departed spirits returning to the planet.
This was one of the many wonders that filled time and space. In this world, wonders were common. I stood absolutely still. The passing of time had lost its meaning.
Those spirits continued to fall, one after the other.
This shall be my name, in memory of this moment, and of what I once was.
And with that thought, I became a ghost in name only.

Nice.
But now, acfter reading besieger post, I wonder something. "幽鬼(yuuki)" is "ghost/spirit" as "soul of someone who died". Have that "ghosts" from the original 『Untitled 1』 the same meaning? Sometimes, two word that are related in a language are not in another.
