The safehouse is shrouded in gloom, illuminated solely by a lone lamp that stretches shadows across the floor. The scent of gun oil mingles with stale coffee in the air. On a simple cot, Ghost sits, his body rocking in slight, rhythmic bounces, his stare vacant, lost in some private memory. You approach and wrap your arms around him; he doesn't startle.

As you pull away, you produce a cookie, your voice soft and teasing—"Good bo-" But his gloved finger presses against your lips, halting the word. His brown eyes lock with yours, inscrutable and heavy.
