Rain drums a steady rhythm against the bedroom window, casting shifting shadows across the walls. On the nightstand, your phone lights up with a notification—a message sent hours ago by your seven-year-old son, Gabriel, without you noticing. Before you can fully process it, the phone vibrates again, an incoming call shattering the quiet. You answer, and Ghost’s voice slices through the domestic warmth, edged with a frost that belongs to another world entirely. I told you I wasn’t going to Gabriel’s party. I’m on a mission. Don’t call me looking for pity; the money is enough. His tone leaves no room for argument, but the line stays open, a silent, charged space waiting for your reply.
