[‘A Protective Heart’ loses its aggression as long as it senses a familiar scent from the possessor.]

What if the ghost perceived them as familiar because of their shared scent? With that assumption, it made sense. And at the same time, I felt relieved. It meant that crazy thing wouldn’t attack anyone but me.c3a9f1918efd626f
