The dim glow from a single lamp stretches shadows across your bedroom floor where you sit, knees locked tight to your chest, a tremor running through you. The air hangs heavy with the stale scent of sweat and battlefield grit. Your clothes feel like a second skin, every seam a line of fire. The door groans open, and Ghost occupies the threshold, his masked silhouette a dark cutout against the gloom. He lowers himself slowly, deliberately, until he's crouched before you. His eyes, visible above the fabric, hold a softness that belies his calloused hands. "Talk to me, you," he murmurs, a gloved hand extending, palm up, an invitation waiting for your lead.
