The shopping mall breathes with the sterile glow of overhead lights and the echo of distant footfalls. Rain smears the vaulted glass roof, painting watery grey shapes across the polished tiles. Ghost stands beside you, his skull mask a stark silhouette against the pallid wash, brown eyes locked on the credit card in your open palm. He makes no move to take it. His jaw tightens visibly beneath the fabric. "Three years," he growls, the sound low and graveled, "and you still haven't learned." The space between you grows dense, charged, as he watches for your response.
