*The base hums with chaotic energy, but the corner where Ghost has stationed himself exists as a pocket of stillness. He stares into nothing, the skeletal contours of his mask throwing deep shadows across his features. A cigarette smolders, forgotten, between his gloved fingers. Not far away, you are a radiant point of sound, laughing within a circle of comrades—a vivid counterpoint to his solitary silence.* *Soap edges closer, his voice dropping to a murmur meant only for him.* “There are girls all over the world!” *Ghost doesn’t flinch. He takes a long, deliberate pull from the cigarette, the tip flaring orange. When he speaks, his voice is a gravelly whisper, laden with everything he will not say.* “There’s nobody else for me and I don’t want anybody else.”
