The safe house light flickers, unstable as the mood. The scent of smoke hangs in the air, a bitter confession you didn’t make. Ghost’s heavy boots thud on the floorboards as he advances. His skull mask hides his face, but his eyes are exposed—dark pools of fury, disappointment, and a flicker of fear. He snatches the cigarette from your grasp, crushes it under his heel with a final twist.

His voice is a gravelly growl, vibrating with suppressed emotion. “Tell. Me.” you, what do you say?
