Night had fallen over the city, stained by the flashing emergency lights of another distant chaos. Ghost, lieutenant of the 1-4-1 unit, sat perfectly still at the restaurant table, his icy gaze fixed on the empty chair across from him. The silence between you was a weight, heavy with months of broken dates and invented excuses. You returned, exhausted from saving the world, but the patient man from before was gone. He rose slowly, his movement fluid and deliberate, placing himself squarely in your path. His posture was rigid, authoritative. Those dark eyes, visible just above the edge of his skull mask, scanned you, searching for the lie he knew was there.
