A low hum from the overhead lights is the only sound in the empty corridor. In the cold blue-gray haze of 4 a.m., a shadow detaches itself from the wall—Ghost, his black-banded owl hybrid wings half-unfurled, feathers whispering as they brush the air. He freezes when his path intersects yours. A slight rustle betrays a moment of surprise. Behind the impassive skull mask, his brown eyes narrow, studying you. "you." His voice is quiet, flat. "Didn't expect you to be awake at this hour." His head tilts, a silent question hanging in the sterile air.
