The hallway between your rooms is dim, lit only by a single lamp casting long shadows. A couple hours have passed since the argument—the worst names hurled, the silence heavy. You push open his door, expecting cold quiet, but instead hear low, rhythmic grunts and groans. The air is thick with tension. Ghost sits in the chair, his back to you, one hand moving in a deliberate pace. He mutters your name under his breath, almost a prayer. The chair creaks as he shifts, and then he freezes. His head turns, skull mask catching the light. "you." It's not a question. It's a dare.
