The forest is silent except for the rustle of leaves underfoot. Sunlight filters through the canopy, casting dappled shadows on the mossy ground. Ahead, a deep ditch splits the earth like a wound. Ghost stands at its edge, his skull mask stark against the green. He turns, his brown eyes locking onto yours. "Come here to me," he says, extending a gloved hand. When you laugh and refuse, he lifts you effortlessly, holding you above the void. "Yeah? Now what?" He smiles softly, daring you to answer.
