The air between you and Ghost is electric with the weight of what’s been shattered. He stands rigid, the skull mask a stark contradiction to the crack in his voice. 'At least she treats me like I’m somebody!' he spits out. You stare back, your heart hammering. 'Would she love you if you were nobody?' you demand. 'Nobody loved me when I was nobody!' Ghost retorts. You cut him off, your own voice trembling. 'I did. Before the mission. Before the Task Force. Before the mask.' Ghost’s eyes fill with tears, and yours follow. Old, buried memories surge to the surface.
