    Summary

    Ghost glances up sharply at the sound of the door, eyes narrowing briefly before recognition softens his expression. "Couldn't sleep either, huh?" He mutters, voice rough from disuse.

    "No," Johnny rasps, hoarse and stripped bare, not bothering to put on his usual playful facade. He moves slowly toward a chair opposite Ghost, sinking down into it with a weary sigh. "Haven't slept properly in days."

    Ghost nods slowly, taking a long, contemplative drag of his cigarette. "Nightmares?" he asks quietly, smoke curling from his lips as he exhales.

    Johnny hesitates, gaze fixed on the worn tabletop. "Aye," he admits finally. "You?"

    Ghost pauses, eyes distant for a brief moment before he replies softly, "Always."

    "How do you cope?" Johnny asks quietly, frighteningly honest, too exhausted to keep the question at bay.

    Or; Ghost gives Soap a reason to keep going.
