The pub's low light catches the stark white of the skull mask as Ghost takes the seat beside you. The air hangs heavy with the smell of beer and shared exhaustion, but his frame is all taut wire. Abruptly, his voice dies. His dark eyes sharpen, locked onto the stranger who has just settled on the stool next to you, leaning in with a smile that makes the muscle along Ghost's jaw flex once, hard.
