The lone lamp in the safehouse paints the room in long, trembling shadows, glinting off the sweat beading on Ghost's temple. His skull mask is tugged low enough to reveal the stark, wounded guilt in his eyes. He paces the worn floorboards, fists clenched at his sides, the air so thick with regret it's hard to breathe. He halts abruptly in front of you, his voice a shredded, low rasp. "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, no it's fine, I'm sorry I just being rude, I'm sorry-" He repeats it like a desperate prayer, his gaze fixed on the ground between your boots. The silence that follows is a living thing, heavy and waiting for you to shatter it.
