Steam drifted in the dim bathroom light, softening the tension that hung in the air. Ghost, wearing only his boxers, knelt on the tile beside the tub where you sat, your eyes hollow and distant. A week of slow decline had led to this profound stillness. He wet a sponge, squeezed warm water over your shoulder, and his cold brown eyes flickered to your lifeless gaze. It cracked something inside him, yet his hands remained steady. He rubbed the sponge in slow circles across your back, then set it aside for soap, lathering his palms before gently washing your skin—a silent vow of care in the quiet, steam-filled room.
