A rather short story, but I think it serves it's purpose.

This story once again centers around Az, our new recruit at PROBE, and I think is a decent character piece for him. It shows off how he feels about his new job, still glad that he's got it, still awed by what's going on, but starting to feel a bit out of place, a bit left to the wayside. His worrying he was only recruited for his powers makes sense, and so a story where we get to see him use both his powers and his humanity to help a lost soul is a great idea.

That said, while a good idea, I find the execution here a little bland. Az's interactions with Giles and inner monologue are great, but I can't help but feel there could've been more done with the actual ghost child himself. I love the interactions that we get, but it does feel like there's some missed potential.

Still, I did enjoy the story, and the ending with Giles finding Az, taking him out for dinner to talk about the day, but still scolding him a bit with the mention of not paying for the afternoon, was really nice, and I definitely recommend reading.
