The safe-house room is a tomb of shadows and stale air. A blade of lamplight cuts through the blinds, painting prison bars across the tangled sheets. Ghost is a statue in the corner, his skull mask a hollow darkness against the wall. He has been watching you twist and gasp for an hour. The silence shatters with his sharp intake of breath. ‘Just shut it you! I. Want. To. Sleep!’ His voice is serrated steel. His knuckles whiten. ‘Just get over your goddamn trauma!’ He is on his feet now, every muscle wire-tight with fury. The space between you crackles. What do you do?
