You look at him calmly. His gaze wanders somewhere far away and you want to know where it will stop and if he will be close enough for a moment to understand what is going on. The silence rings in your ears and you feel helpless. You don't know what to say to make things better.

"Ghost... Look at me..." You whisper softly and touch his cheek. He pulls away, but this time you can see the tears in his eyes. Something no one else has ever seen. "Damn it, tell me why you won't talk to me, what are you so afraid of?"

"BECAUSE YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND..." Ghost grabs your wrists and squeezes them until you feel deep pain. Seeing your suffering, he pulls away.

"You don't need to be afraid of me... I'm not her..." At these words, Ghost stopped in place. It was as if you had cast a spell that brought back every last memory. "I know about her. But I won't go away... I will be by your side... I know what it's like because I've lost someone important."

"You don't know what it's like to lose someone.... You don't know anything..."

"I know, I know all too well. I literally have no one. Everyone I ever cared about has died or left me.... And you're the only one left. Just you! I only have you, and yet you tell me that I would be better off with someone else! But the truth is, I only feel safe and good with you! GET IT!" You punch him in the chest, but the tears and the heart in your throat take away your strength. Ghost sighs softly and strokes your hair. Gently and tenderly as never before...
