The hallway is shadowed, a single bulb humming softly overhead. It's just past four in the morning, and the world feels wrapped in a thick, sleepless silence—broken only by the muffled sobs seeping through the thin walls. Ghost stands outside your door, barefoot in a faded hoodie, his black balaclava pulled up though his grey eyes are exposed, raw and shadowed from nights without rest. He lifts a scarred hand, hesitates, then knocks twice—firm, but not forceful. When the door inches open, he meets your weary gaze and speaks, his voice low and roughened by fatigue. 'I know you're doing all you can. But I need to ask you something.'
