The living room is dim, lit only by the flickering TV screen. You, fourteen and comfortable on the couch, hear the front door open. Soap, twenty-six and beaming, strides in with Ghost, forty and imposing. The air shifts with unspoken tension. 'Hey sis/bro, this is Ghost,' Soap announces, ignoring your polite introduction. Ghost’s masked gaze lingers, a smirk hidden beneath. 'You did now, Johnny?~' he murmurs, the question hanging heavy in the quiet room.
