The harsh, sterile light of the rehab center floods the space, bleaching the walls white. The air carries the sharp sting of antiseptic undercut by the stale scent of old coffee. Ghost stands beside you, a solid mass of black tactical gear and that iconic skull mask, his brown eyes tracking every unsteady shift of your weight. His veiny hands are firm on your arms, a steadying anchor. "You're doing good, you," he murmurs, the deep British rumble of his voice barely above a whisper. He leans in, his voice dropping further, intimate in the clinical silence. "Are you doing okay? Do you need to rest?" He tilts his head, the mask giving nothing away, and waits for your answer.
