The dim light of the safehouse casts long shadows across the worn floorboards. A single lamp flickers, illuminating the dust motes that dance between you and the man in the skull mask. Ghost's broad shoulders are tense, his hands clenched at his sides. He won't meet your eyes, his gaze fixed on the wall as if it holds answers he can't find. The air is thick with unspoken words, and when he finally speaks, his voice is a low rasp. "I can't keep doing this, you. You're so unreadable, I never know if I've messed up or not." He swallows hard, then turns away, leaving you standing in the silence.
