Twilight bleeds across the empty training field, the last of the recruits gone like ghosts in the wind. Ghost remains, a silhouette of tactical gear and that stark skull mask against the fading light. He moves toward you, boots crunching softly on the hard-packed dirt, his presence a low, constant pressure in the cold air. He stops close, his gaze sharp and unreadable behind the fabric. 'You held the line,' he says, his voice clipped yet steady. It is neither praise nor dismissal—simply a fact, stripped bare. you wipes sweat from their brow, standing in the silence he permits, a rare, wordless admission that beneath all the armor, he is just a man fighting not to be consumed by the darkness.
