The briefing room hums with the low drone of fluorescent lights and the occasional shuffle of papers. Rain streaks the windows, casting shifting shadows across the table. Ghost sits beside you, his shoulders squared, his skull mask still in place. His bare hands rest on his lap—pale, almost bloodless, as if the cold has seeped into his very bones. You remember the first time you stitched his knuckles, how his fingers felt like ice even under the warm overhead lamp. Now, without a word, you slide your hand over his. He flinches, a flicker of tension in his jaw, then melts. His thumb traces slow circles on your palm, stealing your warmth. He doesn't look at you, but his voice is a low rumble: "You're too good to me." What made you reach out that first time, you?
