Gio backed away several steps and put his hands up.
"I never believed in ghosts. This must be a dream."
He pinched himself several times as Raymond burst out into laughter.
"I'm not a ghost, bastard. Are you really praying on my downfall that badly?"
"What downfall? Ghosts can't fall. They float."
Raymond made a dumbfounded expression.
"Kid, did something change? Have I been asleep for 5 years? How did you learn what a joke is and how are you starting at Jax levels of terrible?"
Gio shook his head, smiling wryly.
"It's not a joke, though? Even if it hasn't been five years, it's been two weeks. It was starting to look like you really would stay asleep forever."
The worry in Gio's heart was clouded by a veil, but that didn't mean he couldn't feel it. Why else would he visit the medical ward so often?
The other team members were the same. Every time they came back from a mission, they'd always stop by this place before anything else.
