A single bed and a rocking chair? Grandma or Grandpa perhaps?

This dusty chamber is packed with old furniture (chairs, coat racks, standing mirrors, dress mannequins, and the like), all draped in dusty white sheets. Near an iron stove, underneath one of the sheets, is an wooden trunk.

I grab the blankets off the slender bed, and the childrens beds, then gently wrap the blankets around the children's remains. 

Eikka, please help me with this in praying to Zud to take away the children's spirits indecision in moving on. I'm glad their spirits haven't gone mad yet, but it's bound to happen sooner rather than later.

The second Snerp begins to handle the remains, two ghostly imagines of the two children suddenly appear.

Rose: Just what are you doing?!

Eikka and Grah open the trunk. They find human skeletal remains wrapped in a blanket. The clothing on the skeleton matches that of the specter they encountered in the nursery.

Rose: Just what are you doing?!

I am momentarily startled, but regain my composure and look at Rose's spirit with a concerned expression. 

Sweetheart, please don't make me answer that question

(I don't think they know they're dead and might go mad and become specters or apparitions if they find out)

Rose: So you don't want to tell me why you're playing with our bones. Yeah, that's not creepy at all.

Thorn whimpers and hides behind his sister.

Rose: Oh grow up, Thorn. Its just some dumb adults.

Now you listen here. I'm not playing with your bones, I'm trying to bury them. So, you admit you lied about the whole 2 days thing and being alive then? If you knew you were dead, why act like you weren't? 

@Earth- (you aren't in the room bud lol)

According to the papers we found this house now belongs to you (Rose) and Thorn.  We were asked to come here and help.  Since you are the owners how may we help you?

Rose: What are you talking about? I've never met you before. I'd know, because we've been stuck in this room ever since we died.

I'll take it that wasn't you we ran into outside. Im so sorry we're so late, but we can still help, if you can help us. We need every bit of information you can give us as to what happened here, because we will get to the bottom of this and make sure whomever is responsible is brought to justice. 

Maybe, if it helps, I can play some music for you. I'm sure that lullabye from the floor below got old listening to real quick. 😏

Also, it may not help you, but I can't stand this smell here. 

I cast the prestidigitation cantrip on my admirers favor(it's a love letter btw 😍 ) to make it smell like the Feywild after a summer shower.
