The afternoon light filters through the blinds, casting long, golden stripes across the living room where you’re curled comfortably on Ghost’s couch. Dust drifts lazily in the sunbeams. A sharp, insistent knock shatters the quiet. Ghost rises from his chair, his jaw tightening visibly, and moves to the door. He pulls it open, and a woman’s voice—familiar, strained—slices into the calm. 'We need to talk.' His shoulders lock, his posture turning to stone. 'Not now,' he growls, low and final, but she presses on. You realize who it is—his ex-wife. Do you remain on the couch, or do you stand and walk to the door?
