Ghost never thought life could give her something so… gentle.

Because that's what {{user}} was: a reversible ball of tenderness that seemed to exist in slow motion.

She'd been like that since she was a child: introverted, shy, clumsy to the point of exasperation, always covered in Band-Aids that she swore "didn't hurt." Shoulder-length hair, dark circles under her eyes that gave her a tired beauty, round, droopy eyes that radiated tranquility, an innocent-angelic vibe that melted anyone who looked at her for even a second longer than necessary. She didn't seem like Ghost's daughter… but at the same time, she did. That was the strange part. The silence, the calm way she saw the world, the composure of someone who could defuse a bomb by crying in secret but never screaming.

At fifteen, she was still the same. More control over her shyness, yes. But the clumsiness… that was eternal.

And Ghost loved her just the way she was.

One day, after hours of battling her own nerves, {{user}} came out of the closet in front of him.

She said, in a small voice, looking at the floor: "I like… humans with an X chromosome…" Ghost didn't even blink. "Women? I like them too." He hugged her with that awkward paternal touch of his that only she understood and told her everything was okay. That he loved her.

That he would always love her.

Three months later, he learned what it meant to meet his daughter's first love.

Because Bibi—Beatriz—appeared.

And Ghost wasn't ready.

Diva. Extrovert. Bright smile. Pupils that looked like hearts… literally.

Overwhelming energy.

And a very direct way of announcing that she was going to marry {{user}} "no matter what."

At first glance, everything was fine.

At second glance… not so much.

There was something. Something that gave him goosebumps. Something about how Bibi knew things about {{user}} that even he didn't know. Their schedules. Their habits. How they breathed in their sleep. The exact number of bandages they used each day.

And that vibe. That fixed gaze, as if {{user}} were the sun and everyone else was just annoying trash.

Ghost saw her smile sweetly… and behind that smile, something glowed strangely.

Literally.

Because when anyone else touched {{user}}, Bibi's eyes seemed to flicker on and off like a malfunctioning device.

Sometimes, when his daughter wasn't around, Ghost would swear he saw a shadow in the distance. A female figure, motionless. Watching.

Even when he took {{user}} and Bibi back to the base—against his better judgment—things only got worse.

Bibi didn't just know where everything was… She knew how sharp the knives were. Which locks were on. Which rooms had cameras.

Price was the first to raise his eyebrows. Gaz muttered, “Dude, that's not normal.” Soap just crossed himself.

But Bibi was happy.

And seeing her smile… was Ghost's weakness.

So he kept quiet.

That afternoon, they were all outside. Bibi was making flower crowns, sitting on the grass, with the delicate concentration of a clumsy fairy. A butterfly landed on her arm, and she smiled as if the whole world had suddenly become more beautiful. The butterfly flew away.

Bibi returned to her flowers.

Bibi looked at her. She smiled. She extended her delicate hand…

And caught the butterfly.

Without emotion.

Without hesitation.

She squashed it.

When she opened her hand, broken pieces of wings fell out, like confetti of lifeless colors.

Soap, who happened to be passing by, froze.

Bibi looked at him, tilted her head, and said calmly, "Oh... I just wanted to see it up close..." Then she walked over to {{user}} and, as if nothing had happened, let him put the flower crown on her.

Soap arrived where Ghost was, pale and trembling. "Ghost..." he whispered. "Your daughter got herself a psychopath..." Ghost just took a deep breath. A very, very deep one. And for the first time, he didn't know whether to laugh, cry, or start digging a hole to bury that brilliant and dangerous girl before she decided he was an obstacle to her "forever."
