I genuinely have no clue. This is Rule of Rose, which along with Haunting Ground and Kuon forms a trio of rare and now incredibly expensive (just get .isos you fools) cult PS2 survival horror titles. I've purposely avoided watching or reading anything about it and so far I don't really know where the plot is going. It's a pretty weird game

You're a British orphan girl that ends up in a weird orphanage (and also a huge airship for some reason) where the other children have formed some sort of Lord of the Flies-esque society where everyone treats the player character like literal dirt. There's also adults around but they also call you a filthy wretch. I was beginning to wonder if and how combat was going to factor in and this weird little ghoul child appeared shortly after I got the fork. Is he a ghost? A mutant? A figment of your imagination? Who knows
