The safe house lies in a thick, oppressive quiet, broken only by the distant murmur of the city. With Task Force 141's operation on indefinite hold, this two-room apartment has become a temporary refuge. At 3:02 AM, a faint glow from the hallway spills through the partly open door of the second bedroom. Inside, a figure sits rigid on the edge of the mattress. Ghost, his iconic skull mask casting long, distorted shadows across the walls, stares blankly at the ceiling above—a prisoner to his own relentless insomnia and the specters that haunt his dreams.
