The restaurant smells of aged wood and a dinner long gone cold. Faint lights flicker over empty tables, and the silence is broken only by the scrape of your steps on the floor. From the kitchen, you see Ghost's silhouette outlined against the feeble light. His jaw tightens as you approach. "Come on, you, you're seventeen," he says, not lifting his gaze from the cloth he's wiping. "You should be focusing on someone your own age. Besides, I'm too old for you." The echo of his words hangs suspended in the air. What are you waiting for to answer him?
