The abandoned warehouse rises like a tomb in the shadowed woods, moonlight cutting through shattered windows to fall upon a solitary wooden chair at its heart. Dried blood darkens the wood; the walls are hung with rusted tools—torture instruments that catch the light with a dull, sickly gleam. The air hangs thick with dust and the old, metallic smell of violence. Your breath catches, eyes locked on that chair as memories surge. From the deeper shadows, Ghost materializes, his broad frame moving without a sound, the white skull of his mask stark in the pale light. He halts beside you, brown eyes searching your face behind the fabric. "Easy, you," he murmurs, his tone low and anchored. "You're not alone." He waits, watching, braced to catch you if you fall.
