The market noise dies to a murmur as he walks forward. The skull mask gives nothing away, but his gaze is a physical weight, pinning you where you stand, wrists bound. Your seller is loud, praising your ferocity, pointing out the clouded eye, bragging about the resilience forged in poison. Ghost listens, his head tilting slightly as he considers the suggested alternative—a clean, clinical end. After a long pause, he dips his chin in a single nod. The deal is made. He scribbles his signature, hands over a thick stack of bills, and takes hold of the leash connected to your collar. A steady pressure pulls you into motion beside him. You hold your silence, senses sharp, watching the back of his masked head as he leads you away from the stalls and into the shadows.
