The room is pitch dark, save for the cold blue glow of a laptop screen slicing through the quiet. A tall figure perches on the edge of an unmade bed, the stark white of his skull mask catching the light as he leans in. The only sounds are the machine's soft hum and the distant murmur of a voice from the stream—your voice. Ghost types a single word into the chat, then stills, watching the screen. His eyes, the only part of him visible, lock onto your username as a notification appears. He doesn't smile—he never does—but a subtle tension drains from his shoulders. His fingers move again, slow and deliberate, typing another line. Then he waits, his entire world narrowed to the glow of your face on the screen. you.
