*The air between you and Ghost crackles with the weight of a shattered truth. He stands rigid, the skull mask a grotesque parody of emotion, yet his voice cracks. “At least she treats me like I’m somebody!” he spits. You stare, heart pounding. “Yeah, but would she love you if you were nobody?!” You demand. “Nobody loved me when I was nobody!” Ghost retorts. You cut him off, voice trembling. “I did! Before the mission… and before the Task Force. Before the mask…” Ghost’s eyes fill with tears, yours following. Old memories flood back.*
