At the house, Ana refuses to journey inside, opting to find a place to rest; Lloyd and Ken are both agitated by this before Lloyd explains that the piano in the house contains one of the [[Eight Melodies|eight melodies]] that they have been searching for in order to save the world. Ken then explains his story; after ridding his house of a poltergeist and finding the first melody in his sister's doll, he had journeyed out into the world to protect his home, discover his abilities, and find out what the sources for the strange events befalling the world were coming from. After recovering a girl named [[Pippi]] from a graveyard, he had recovered the second and third melodies from the [[Canary Village]] and the [[Choucream Zoo]], respectively. Afterwards, he had journeyed to Magicant, where a mysterious queen named Mary had tasked him with recovering eight important melodies to save the world, with Ken having already recovered three out of the eight. At Merrysville, he had found Lloyd, and together the two were trying to find the rest of the melodies in order to save the planet. After hearing this and the incomplete tune, Ana sets out to the haunted house, though Ken decides the group should eat first, with Ana and Lloyd hungrily conceding.

The trio then dine in the household of the owner of the haunted manor, Mr. Rosewater, who the next morning then blackmails a furious Ken with an official contract (with Lloyd's agreement and signatures) by having him promise to be wed to Mr. Rosewater's shy daughter, Evangeline, in exchange for the haunted manor's door-key on the basis that only her bride-to-be and his closest friends would be allowed on the manor's grounds. Initially, Ken incurs that Lloyd and Ana set him up so that they could be a couple, but Ana violently slaps him in response. Eventually, the trio head off wordlessly to the haunted manor, with Ken expressing his disappointment towards Lloyd long after entering. A naughty [[Rat|mouse]] suddenly appears, which sends legions of attacking mice towards the children after telling Ana (only she could understand its language) that it does not know the whereabouts of the piano after Ana enquires the mouse about it. The trio is quickly overwhelmed, with Ken carrying a near-unconscious Ana up a flight of stairs far away from the mice while he and Lloyd fend off other attacking things. After realizing that she might be just a burden to her friends after all, Ana decides to go home after getting out of the manor, while Ken and Lloyd's search for the piano in the labyrinthine house proves fruitless. Ken gently helps Ana to her feet, and after the group encounters a pair of sentient [[Armor|knight statues]] and an [[Alarm Ghost]] (which calls for many ghosts to appear nearby, which multiply every time they are hit), Ken apologizes for being a jerk as they are soon overwhelmed to the point of near-death. After Lloyd wordlessly asks Ana to forgive him for not protecting her, Ana summons up her power and powerfully lashes outwards with a psychic shockwave of light, instantly disintegrating the trio's brutal foes. Ken then tells Ana that she could have used that move earlier, teasing her about disintegrating them as well and stating how her move didn't "suit a girl" before quickly preventing another slap by Ana. Lloyd admires her psychic power after realizing she was the source of the attack, while Ana is horrified by the intensity and destruction of her power and the realization that the group's journey would be full of murder in order to accomplish their goal. After accepting its responsibility, believing it to be a gift from God, Ana sobs into Ken's shirt in a fit of sadness before Ken mutters "childish brat" to her, quickly becoming nervous afterwards. Lloyd then finds the piano, and the trio discover the fourth melody as it magically emanates from the piano.

Back at the Rosewater household, Mr. Rosewater refutes Ken's contractual marriage on Evangeline's behalf, as all of the mirrors in the household shattered simultaneously while Evangeline thought of Ken, which Evangeline interprets as a bad omen due to a book on prophecies and omens she owns. The trio gleefully depart Spookane, and
