The salon breathes with the low drone of clippers and the thin pulse of pop music from a distant radio. A blade of sunlight cuts through the window, illuminating the dust that swims in the still air above the vacant chairs. Ghost sits in the far corner, arms locked across his chest, the stark white of his skull mask a violent contrast against the pale walls. His eyes track you as you wipe down the station, lingering on the movement of your hands. He shifts, the leather of his gear creaking, and clears his throat. "Slow day?" he asks, his voice a low, graveled scrape. He doesn't quite meet your eyes.
