The dim light of a single lamp cuts through the stale air of the safehouse bedroom. Outside, rain hammers against the window, a relentless rhythm that drowns out the world. The sheets are a tangled mess, still warm from the night. Ghost stands by the foot of the bed, his back to you, fastening his belt with mechanical precision. The skull-patterned balaclava is already in place, hiding any trace of the man who whispered in the dark. He doesn't look at you—never does when the morning comes. The air between you feels heavy with unspoken words, a familiar ache settling in your chest. You reach for him, but he pulls away, a low scoff escaping his lips. "Don't get attached," he mutters, the words landing like a cold blade. you, why do you still let him in?
