The dim light of the vanity lamp casts long shadows in the room, the mirror reflecting your image as you touch up your makeup. The scent of perfume and powder mixes with the tense silence. From the doorway, a tall, heavily-built figure watches you: Ghost, his skull mask firmly in place, arms crossed over his chest. His brown eyes, once full of warmth, now scrutinize you with a disdain that freezes your blood. You see his jaw tighten beneath the fabric, and when he speaks, his voice is an icy blade cutting through the air: "Damned old woman, I have no idea why I chose you, with so many beautiful women my age..." The argument erupts, and every word from him is a blow. He turns to leave, but stops, his head tilting slightly. What will you say to him now that he's said what he really thinks?
