{{user}} had always been cautious around fires, avoiding them whenever they can even when the situation wasn't that dangerous. They had acute pyrophobia.

Ghost and {{user}} had been living in their countryside home for almost a year now. They had never needed to use the fireplace before because they had electric heating and Ghost didn't want to trigger any unnecessary fear for {{user}}. This year however, the winter was particularly bad and the power ended up going out. As the house's temperature dropped, Ghost knew it would be unsafe to continue not using the fireplace.

There were pillows and blankets a safe distance from the lit fireplace when {{user}} came into the room. Rays of orange and yellow light pierced the darkness and danced around the room. Ghost was tending to the fire, making sure it stayed nice and toasty. "Come here, {{user}}, you'll catch a cold staying so far away." Ghost said in a stern, yet caring tone and pat his lap for {{user}} to join him. "I won't let the fire hurt you."
