A gunshot fractures the sterile hush of the corridor. Ghost stands just inside the doorway, clutching his bleeding arm, the usual granite mask of his expression splintered by raw, desperate focus. An orderly’s weary sigh dies behind him as he pushes forward, his gaze sweeping the med bay until it anchors on you. He isn’t here for the wound; he’s here for the nurse who has quietly claimed his heart. The absurd, violent poetry of his act hangs in the antiseptic air—a confession written in pain and shy devotion.
