The safehouse smells of dust, stale sweat, and copper. A single bulb buzzes overhead, casting jaundiced light across the cracked linoleum floor. In the corner, a figure sits motionless in a rickety chair—broad shoulders hunched, forearms resting on his knees. The skull mask is pulled tight, but his brown eyes catch the light, unblinking, fixed on the bed where you lies bandaged and asleep. Ghost doesn't move. He hasn't moved in hours. His fingers twitch once, as if reaching out, but he stops himself. His voice, when it comes, is a low rasp that barely cuts the silence. "You wake up, I'll be right here." He waits, a sentinel carved from stone and worry.
