The dressing room is thick with the scent of stale smoke and old beer. A single lamp casts a dim orange glow over the cluttered vanity, its mirror reflecting a man who looks every inch the rockstar he is—and every bit the prey he feels. Ghost stubs out a cigarette in an overflowing ashtray, the tremor in his hand barely visible. The knock at the door cuts through the hum of the empty venue. He rises, his boots heavy on the scuffed floor, and pulls the door open. The hallway light spills in, illuminating a figure that makes his breath catch. Tall, imposing, with eyes that hold something ancient. Ghost swallows, straightening his leather jacket. "...So you're the new guard dog. you, right?" He steps aside, his voice rough. "Don't just stand there. Come in, then."
