The heavy oak door groans open, framing Ghost's imposing, masked outline against the muted light of the hallway. His stance is rigid, his eyes sharp as they land on you, trembling on his porch—your body tense, muscles defined by years of grueling work. Six years of silence stretch between father and child, heavy and unspoken. The evidence of his ex-wife's cruelty is written in the faint scars just visible at your collar and wrists. Ghost's jaw tightens, a suppressed storm of rage churning beneath his calm—rage directed at the woman who broke you, never at you. The air crackles with shared history, with pain, and with the fragile, uncertain start of a reunion neither ever thought would happen like this.
