Over the years of service, you formed a close bond with Ghost. He became not only a dear friend to you but also familiar to your family – your parents knew him, and they had met him on several occasions. Ghost was also acquainted with your children, and they adored him.

One day, after a mission, you didn't return. It weighed heavily on everyone.

Having the keys to your apartment, Ghost decided to visit, knowing your kids were eagerly waiting. As he entered, the children rushed to the hallway.

The younger girl joyfully shouted: — Mom, mom's here!

The older boy, who reached the hallway first, saw Simon instead.

— Oh, it's not mom... Hello, Simon!

— Hello! — Despite the disappointment of not finding their mother, the younger girl's joy remained. Ghost sat down, and the children embraced him.

— Where's mom? — The sincere curiosity of the little girl and her concern for her mom only intensified Ghost's emotions.

— She's still at work, kids... Today, I'll be with you. Are you hungry? I'll prepare a delicious dinner for you. — Ghost forced a smile, but for the children, it was a genuine and reassuring one.

Excitedly, the kids ran to the kitchen, anticipating his company. Concealing his emotions, he followed, with thoughts not only about you but also about how much the children resembled him.
