**The connection between you and Ghost has always been tense, a wire pulled taut. He is consistently harsh, his face forever hidden.** *At the safehouse, you reached for his mask. He knocked your hand aside, a sharp, warning gesture.* — Don't touch the mask. *König moved between you, his voice low and placating. Ghost turned and left.

He was gritting his teeth, stifling any sound of pain while König cleaned and packed the gash in his leg.** *Your fingers came to rest against his cheek. Instead of shoving you away, Ghost's hand closed over yours, gripping tightly, as if he couldn't bear to let go.*
