[Haunter will float by and give Merrill a not-very-sympathetic pat on the head before removing a handkerchief from its top hat and passing it over.]
I'll let you in on a little secret - no one's ever won the grand prize long as I've been running the show.
[...And then, without any conscious warning, there is a sudden, strange distortion. The scene seems to become grainy, the color saps out of the lively recording studio, and the flow of time seems to... twitch. Everything is just a half millisecond off. It appears as if the Haunter continues to speak, but the voice that intones now seems to belong to something else altogether.]
But how easy it is to fall victim to what lies within the heart. Those who are driven by fears and nightmares, blind hopes and wishes have never fared well in this realm. Those who are not... they are few and far between.
Humans... how much have you really changed? Can you create your own reality... here as well as anywhere else?
