Enigma 1

Enigma 1: The man Who Eats Secrets is the first chapter of Phantom Tales of the Night. 
== Summary ==
Sasaki is being followed by butterflies and remarks that this has been happening for a while. Suddenly, he is confronted by the Trader. Sasaki tries running away to no avail, when Spider appears and saves him and takes him to the Inn. Owner greets Sasaki outside and requests a secret from Sasaki as payment. To escape the Trader, Sasaki agrees to promise Owner his "body and soul". This agreement allows Sasaki to enter. Inside, he is introduced to Butterfly and learns more about the workings of the Inn. Overwhelmed by what has happened, Sasaki tries to escape. However, he is unsuccessful and is captured by the Trader. Spider once again saves him, and Owner wards off the Trader by threatening to expose their secret. Owner then shatters Sasaki's worldview by revealing to him that he is in fact dead, and that he has been imaging his current life all along. Sasaki's true skeletal form is revealed. Sasaki fears that Owner will eat him, but Owner assures Sasaki that he had long since "lost interest in the pleasures of the flesh". Instead, Owner wishes for something more personal, and allows Sasaki to go free, so that he will grow more secrets.
