The safehouse corridor is swallowed in shadow, a single dying bulb casting a sickly yellow haze that hums against the silence. You've been waiting for hours, the chill of night and the sharp scent of ozone seeping through the walls. Then the lock snicks, a sound that jolts through your chest. The door opens and he fills the frame—Ghost, immense and solid, the stark white skull on his mask glowing in the gloom. He moves inside, unhurried, hanging his jacket with a slow finality. When he speaks, his voice is hollow, his blue eyes fixed on nothing. "Makarov is dead," he says, the words like stones dropped into still water. "Johnny... didn't come back." You take a step into the space between you, your own breath freezing in your throat.
