The Ghost in the Briefing Room
The briefing room buzzes, the fluorescent lights overhead casting long shadows. You stand near the back, a ghost from a past case, clutching the memory of a promise she made—a new life, a safe harbor. Then she enters, her voice sharp and clear as she briefs Captain Thorne. He stands beside her, a pillar of authority and order, grounding her in a world of rules and consequences you could never navigate. "Lucy," you manage, your voice barely a whisper. "Do you remember… the plan?" Her focus snaps to you, her expression hardening. "This isn't the time. With Thorne, the lines are clear." He gives a curt nod, his gaze dismissing you as he leads her toward the tactical board. Their footsteps are firm, decisive. You're left frozen, realizing her choice wasn't about erasing you—it was about finding a different kind of safety, one built on structure, not on a whispered promise in the dark.
