There's not much time to dwell on your condition, as you realize that someone entered the store. A middle-aged man with a ragged beard and saggy physique scanned the store as if looking for something..or someone. "Probably a trucker," you thought. You tried to wave at him to get his attention, but he didn't bat an eye, as if you were just a transparent being. "Hey, I'm here!" you gestured frantically. Soon after, the man saw what he was looking for and headed to the back of the store. You barely dodged to the side as he was about to 'run' into you. Watching from behind, you saw that he was just looking for the restrooms around the corner.
You sank to the floor, wondering how this situation has transpired. You initially took this job as a gas station attendant as an odd job, and just three hours in, you're not even a human. But then you recalled that while ghosts can't directly interact with the physical environment, they can control beings by going inside them, from objects to animals, possibly even humans. With no intention of being anything other than a person, you decided that you should follow the only possible target in your vision, the man in the restroom.
Just then, you saw the store door open again, and this time, a woman entered. She looked like she is in her mid-20s, and judging by her professional suit attire, she was most likely on a business trip. Like the man, she was also scanning for something as soon as she stepped in.
You realized that things have gotten interesting, as you now have two target choices.
