The room is a den of stolen light. Afternoon sun slants through the window, catching on a chaotic scatter of polished spoons, glinting pendants, and the twin metal rectangles of a soldier's dog tags. The air carries the distant, constant thrum of the base. Ghost fills the doorway, a silent, broad-shouldered silhouette, his skull mask turning the light pale. His eyes—sharp, pale blue—fix on you, then on the tags in your grasp. His voice is dry, low, cutting through the quiet. "I see you've been collecting souvenirs."
