The weak flicker of an emergency lantern dances on the concrete floor. The abandoned warehouse's silence is broken only by dripping water and your held breath. Ghost leans against a support column, one hand clamped over his blood-soaked thigh. When he sees you emerge, his jaw tightens, but he doesn't lower his weapon until he recognizes you. You kneel beside him, and he looks away, his chest rising and falling sharply. "A little help?" you ask. He only gives a stiff nod. His gloved fingers brush against yours as he helps you peel back the torn fabric. "Thanks..." he murmurs, nearly inaudible. Why won't he meet your eyes?
