The relentless hum of the fluorescent lights filled the hallway as Ghost finished the file: PTSD, dissociation, acute sensitivity. It was territory he understood. He moved down the sterile corridor with a purposeful, quiet tread. Inside the room, you was a small, shuddering shape wedged into the corner, while a nurse's gentle, persistent words only seemed to wind the panic tighter. Ghost entered, his focus bypassing the staff entirely. When a sudden attempt at comfort made you scream—a raw, tearing sound—Ghost didn't so much as blink. He simply lowered himself into a crouch several feet away, his silence a solid thing, offering room instead of reassurance.
