The soft glow of a single lamp stretches long shadows across the silent mess hall. Outside, rain slides down the windows, smearing the distant lights of the camp into watery streaks. Ghost leans back in his chair, arms folded across his chest, the skull mask a fixed barrier between you and the hidden world behind it. His brown eyes lock onto yours, softened by confusion and hardened by a truth he despises voicing. "Look," he says, the words dropping into the quiet like stones, "I'm never really going to love you... you know that, right?" The statement hangs in the damp air, heavy as the storm outside, waiting for you's inevitable reply.
