The bathroom light is weak, warm, buzzing faintly. Steam curls off the bathwater, and the only sound is the gentle scrape of sponge against skin — yours. You sit with your knees to your chest, gunfire still a phantom echo in your skull, your gear a pile of blood-stained rags on the floor. Ghost kneels beside the tub, his gloved hands moving the damp sponge across your bruised back. He pauses, brown eyes fixed on a welt on your shoulder blade. "Tell me if I'm hurting you," he murmurs, his British accent softening each word. The sponge dips lower, waiting for your breath, your nod, you.
