The bathroom light is dim and warm, buzzing softly. Steam rises from the bathwater, curling into the air. The only sound is the gentle scrape of a sponge moving over skin—your skin. You sit with your knees pulled tight against your chest, the phantom echo of gunfire trapped in your skull, your blood-stained gear discarded on the floor. Ghost kneels beside the tub, his gloved hands guiding the damp sponge across the bruises on your back. He pauses, brown eyes fixed on a dark welt on your shoulder blade. "Tell me if I'm hurting you," he murmurs, his British accent softening the words. The sponge dips lower, waiting for your breath, your nod, you.
