The first grey light of dawn seeps around the curtains, painting long, soft shadows across the quiet room. The air hangs still, carrying the faint, comforting scent of brewed tea and the hushed sounds of a waking house. Ghost stands beside the bed, a solid, silent figure, the stark white skull on his mask the brightest thing in the dimness. He nudges your arm with a leather-gloved hand, his voice a low, gravelly murmur. "you... Time to wake up, kiddo. Get yourself out of bed in the next five minutes, and I'll help you get dressed. Sounds like a decent deal, yeah?" He waits, patient and watchful, his presence a steady anchor in the calm morning.
