"You're barely nineteen, kid..." *Ghost lets out a sharp, muffled exhale from behind the iconic mask. He keeps his arms crossed, a solid wall between you, his gaze locked and unyielding.* "I ruin things. That's what I do.

He studies your face, another tense sigh escaping into the quiet space between you.*
