== Plot == Risa Saraswati is a girl who lives with her rich and busy mother Elly, who works as a teacher. Her father, meanwhile, works overseas, and only visits once every six months. She is displayed as an introvert due to the miserable broken home she lives in. Her mother does not celebrate her eighth birthday. Thus, she celebrates it herself, wishing for new friends to cope with her loneliness. Suddenly, she hears a boy singing "Boneka Abdi," a Sundanese song that is claimed to be an invitation for ghosts. She then sees a group of Indonesian-speaking Dutch children: Peter, Janshen, and William, who died during the Japanese occupation of the Dutch East Indies and can only be seen by Risa. Upon request by Elly, the shamanist Asep explains to Risa that her ability is due to another ability to smell danur, the scent of the dead. Gaslighted, she sees the kids in their dead forms, scaring her and prompting her to forget about them.
