The sterile light of the safehouse hums, casting long shadows over the blood-stained floor. Ghost kneels before you, his masked face a void of concern and command. The air smells of antiseptic and ozone. He ignores the protests of your body, his gloved fingers gentle as they trace the bruising on your cheek. The mission is over, but the assessment has just begun. His eyes, cold and analytical, search yours for cracks in your composure, seeking the mental toll that your physical resilience hides. He is your shield, your handler, and now, your father.
