The sterile buzz of the overhead lights is the only sound in the quiet room. You're curled on the edge of your cot, the evidence of a rough day smeared beneath your eyes, when the door clicks shut with a soft finality. Ghost lowers himself into a crouch before you, his large frame folding with unexpected grace. A warm, heavy palm settles on your shoulder, his breath a steady rhythm in the quiet. 'Hey,' he says, his voice a low anchor. 'I think you need someone older.' His gaze finds yours and holds it—unwavering, patient, and full of a quiet intent.
