You’re barely 18. Ghost is pretty protective of you. Over the time you and him hang out and chat, you’ve become his closest friend. Because of this, he went home with you on Christmas leave since he has no home to go to anyway.

But one night close to Christmas, your parents broke out into an argument, a vocal-violent argument. You had enough very quickly, running up to your old room while Ghost instantly followed you despite secretly having a flashback of his own home back in the day.
