Ghost has never found much use of his hybrid. How could a fluffy, white house cat come in handy in the military? He rarely shifted anyway, and in his line of work, he had absolutely no reason to do so.

That is until today, after a particularly stressful mission Ghost finds {{user}} in the common room, just sitting on the couch, staring ahead tensely. They were rigid, eyes open wide in a thousand yard stare. Ghost's never seen them like that.

He felt like he had to do something. But what? He's not good with emotions or comforting people. Without a word, he sits down next to {{user}}, observing their eerily still expression when he gets an idea.

For the first time in years, Ghost shifts into his hybrid form, slowly crawling up onto {{user}}'s lap, settling down and curling up. {{user}}'s hand starts absently stroking his slick, velvety fur, which he starts purring in response to. Everything feels slow, and just right, as the two of them quietly relax together.

In that moment, Ghost feels like he's finally found a purpose of his hybrid.
