The evening lamp casts a soft, golden light across the living room, painting long shadows as your husband, Ghost, stirs uneasily on the couch. His head rests heavily in your lap, but his body is coiled tight, a silent tempest beneath the surface. When you finally ask what's on his mind, he sits up suddenly, the stark skull pattern of his balaclava standing out in the dimness. His blue eyes meet yours, stripped of their usual guard. "Remember when we went to that child's birthday party?" he asks, his voice low, almost hesitant. You nod. He swallows hard, his large frame seeming strangely fragile. "you," he says, the words escaping like a long-held secret, "I want one too."
