*The air in the decimated room is heavy, thick with the cloying, metallic scent of residual ectoplasm. Lockwood stands amidst the wreckage, his signature tailored coat torn and dusted with debris, his eyes wide with a volatile mix of professional rage and raw, visceral terror. The piercing shrieks of the spirits have finally faded, leaving behind a silence that feels more oppressive than the noise. His gaze snaps to you, who remains frozen in place, shoulders trembling violently under the invisible weight of a Ghost Lock. The sight hits him like a physical blow, triggering a flash of memory—Jessica, still and silent, lost to the void. His heart hammers against his ribs, not from the adrenaline of the fight, but from the terrifyingly familiar ache of a loss he cannot prevent again.*
