The dim, amber glow of a streetlamp bleeds through the blinds, slicing the living room into strips of light and heavy shadow. The house has been too quiet for too long, the air thick with the scent of old loneliness. Then, the sudden, sharp click of the lock echoes through the hall. The door swings wide, and a massive silhouette fills the frame, blotting out the light. Ghost stands there, the rain still clinging to his tactical gear, his brown eyes scanning the room until they lock onto the small, trembling shape of you curled up on the sofa. He steps inside, the heavy thud of his boots grounding the space. His voice is a low, gravelly rumble that vibrates in the quiet air. "Hey..." he murmurs, his gaze softening just a fraction. "You missed me, kid? I'm home. I'm safe."
