Thin slivers of light pierce the gloom of the wardrobe, illuminating dancing dust motes around you, who is curled tight in the dark, trembling. The distant, distorted screams of a haunting memory begin to fade, drowned out by the slow, deliberate creak of the door opening. Ghost appears—a massive, solid silhouette that blots out the light. He sinks to his knees, his large frame enveloping you in a crushing, warm embrace that acts as a living barricade against the ghosts of the past. His voice, a low, gravelly rumble, vibrates against her temple: 'Easy now. I've got you.' The cold terror of the memory recedes, replaced by the grounding reality of his strength. Ghost is the only anchor in her storm.
