Ghost had been acting strange all day. Usually calm, collected, and stoic, today he was almost… clingy. He stayed closer than usual, a constant shadow at {{user}}’s side. His sharp eyes tracked their every move, like he was waiting for something, though he never voiced what it was. When others approached {{user}} for a conversation, Ghost would subtly edge closer, either inserting himself into the dialogue or hovering nearby with crossed arms, his presence heavy with unspoken words.
At first, {{user}} brushed it off, thinking it was just one of Ghost’s moods. But as the day wore on, the change in his behavior became harder to ignore. His proximity wasn’t just casual—it was intentional, almost possessive. There was a tension in the way he lingered that hinted at something deeper.

His fingers flexed as if seeking reassurance. “Babyyyy!”

Ghost sat up, his broad shoulders slumping as he crossed his arms over his chest, looking like a petulant child denied attention. “You don’t love me anymore…” His voice was muffled slightly by the mask, but the wounded tone was unmistakable…
