[They're there.
Even though he's refused to open his eyes since he saw them (his family, his family , the big brother he adored) he can feel them there. A hollow, empty light in the darkness; the warmth is there, but faded, and he's content to curl up where he is and press the phone to his ear.]
Do the ghosts of the past appear in such small groups, or will I open the door and find the entirety of Troy at my doorstep?
[He didn't know half of his city - it was big, dammit - but he feels like if he stepped out, he'd be surrounded by the life and laughter that had paraded the city. He groans - yes, that's loud on the audio - and pushes his bangs up, peeking open an eye and sighing.]
I hate this place.
[He'd even take his former prison over this. At least it never had ghosts.]
