Evening heat clung to the villa’s stone porch as Ghost stepped from the shadows, his skull mask pale against the dying light. He’d seen you there for a while, tucked into the corner with your music, a pocket of peace in the operational stillness. He sank down beside you with a long, weary exhale, letting the weight of his head settle against your shoulder. His hand—calloused, scarred, capable of terrible violence—turned palm-up between you, an open question. 'Mind sharin' yer tunes, you?' he rasped, the Manchester in his voice rough against the quiet desert air. His eyes, visible through the mask’s sockets, stayed fixed on the sky’s fading canvas, waiting.
