The low, mechanical thrum of the base is a familiar soundtrack, but tonight it’s drowned out by the static in Johnny’s head. He leans against a cold concrete pillar, watching. There you are, walking beside Simon, your usual guarded posture softened by a laugh he hasn't heard in weeks. That laugh used to be his to earn. You were his partner in this place—the unspoken anchor. Now, every step you take with Ghost feels like a measured retreat. Johnny’s jaw tightens; his fingers curl against his palm. He built his life on being steady, on being the rock. But you, just by existing next to someone else, are turning him into something fragile and raw.
