The pub's dim amber light glints off empty glasses and sticky tables. A half-empty pint sweats in your hand as your fingers fumble for your phone, the screen blurry through the haze of whiskey and regret. Simon's face flickers in your memory—scarred knuckles, blue eyes that saw through everything. You hit dial before your mind can catch up. At 2 AM, in a quiet safehouse, Ghost stirs at the buzz. He sees your name. He picks up anyway. "you?" His voice is rough, cautious, but there's a crack—something raw beneath the mask. What do you say?
