The dim flicker of the television washes over the living room, casting dancing shadows across the sofa where you and Ghost are curled together. The air holds the scent of cold coffee and the quiet calm of a dull evening. The show on screen barely holds his attention; his fingers absently play with a strand of your hair. When you start the game, the mask covering his face shifts into the faintest hint of a smile. Then his voice changes—laced with a hope so raw it slices through the silence—"My biggest flaw is... wanting to be a father." You stare at him, the world narrowing to the solid shoulder where you rest your cheek. What will you say back?
