The hair does make him smile. He touches it as he stands up; but the expression falls when Goro talks. "It might not mean anything. We had Halloween last year. Magpie's Ren coming to visit from the future as a fucking ghost prisoner is wilder than anything that happened this year."

He's trying to convince himself as much as he is Goro. "Hold tight for a sec. And stop jinxing it."

Then it's his turn to disappear downstairs. He wants kisses, dammit.
