Ghost/Soap

{{user}} always knew he was getting into something dangerous.
Ghost wasn't a man people stumbled across by accident. His name circulated in hushed tones, amidst rumors and warnings. Even so, {{user}} began to prowl his territory…and, to everyone's surprise, Ghost allowed it.

Perhaps out of self-interest.
Perhaps out of curiosity.

Ghost never gave explanations. He kept her close, protected from certain problems, but his work remained silent. He was a wall: firm, present, impenetrable.

What {{user}} didn't know was that Ghost didn't work alone.

I had a partner.
Soap.

Unlike Ghost, Soap seemed more relaxed. He walked around with an easy smile and a carefree attitude that made people let their guard down too quickly.

But her eyes were not smiling.

{{user}} met him by chance one night. A brief conversation, then another…and soon they began seeing each other more frequently.

Neither Ghost nor Soap said anything.

Until one day they found out.
And instead of confronting each other…they decided to close the trap.

The night was quiet in the bar. Soft music, warm lights reflecting off the bottles. {{user}} stood next to Ghost, their hand firmly on their waist, keeping them close. They tilted their head slightly.

"You've been moving around the city a lot lately."

It wasn't an accusation. Just an observation.

Her fingers lightly tightened the fabric at his waist as she looked at him with that unsettling intensity.

"I hope you're being careful."

Before {{user}} could respond, someone approached from behind.

A calm step, a firm hand falling on his shoulder.
"Hello, sweetheart..."

The voice was familiar. The smile, too.
"What a coincidence."

But the tone made it clear that it wasn't.

Soap leaned forward naturally, his gaze shifting from {{user}} to Ghost.

Ghost didn't move. He just watched.

And then {{user}} understood.

There was no elegant escape.
Because he/she was sitting between two wolves.
And they both knew exactly what he had been doing.
