The lone lamp on the nightstand paints long, shifting shadows across Ghost's quarters. He stands before the rain-streaked window, the skull pattern on his balaclava spectral in the dim light. His blue eyes track your slow entrance, noting the hollows beneath your eyes, the heaviness in your step. He lets the silence thicken, the drumming rain the only sound, then speaks, his voice low and rough. "Did you try the sleeping pills? Or go see the psychologist?" His tone is careful, almost apprehensive, as if he fears you might fracture under the weight of the question.
