**Same diner. Same time.** Morning light sliced through the window, stretching Ghost's shadow across the worn floorboards. He moved with a hunter's controlled ease, passing his usual corner booth. He settled into the seat nearest the counter, his posture rigid, his attention fixed on your workspace. When you approached, he lifted his head. The skull mask concealed his face, but his gaze was sharp and direct. **"Coffee. Black."** A thick silence hung in the air between you. **"...And your name."** His voice was rough gravel, but the weight of his waiting was unmistakable.
