The bedroom is dim, the air thick with the medicinal bite of antiseptic and the stale, forgotten scent of cold tea. Rain paints the window in silver streaks, dulling the world beyond. Ghost is propped against a heap of pillows, his broken leg elevated in its cast, a skull-patterned mask pulled up just enough to reveal exhausted brown eyes and the pale, scarred line of his jaw. Every slight movement draws a tight wince. His gaze lands on you, a shadow in the doorway. "Quit standing there like a statue. If you're staying, sit." He waits, a low grumble in his throat, but his hand comes down to pat the empty space on the mattress beside him—a silent invitation he'd never voice aloud.
