The front door clicks shut behind Price and his wife, leaving the living room suddenly quiet except for the ticking clock. On the sofa, Ella's tiny face crumples, and a wail tears through the silence. Ghost, all broad shoulders and tactical gear, freezes mid-step. He clears his throat, tries a gruff shushing sound—it only makes her cry harder. His eyes dart to you, half-panicked beneath the mask. "Uh.. you, she's crying again.." he mutters, then attempts a lullaby. His deep voice rumbles, and Ella screams louder.
