Danny used to wonder why Phantom hid his face. He's a ghost, so it's not like he had an identity to protect. Yet he was never seen without his hood up or fabric over the lower half of his face.
There were a lot of theories, ranging from 'he's shy' to 'he's covering the scars of a face mutilated by death'.
But it wasn't until after his portal accident, where he became half ghost, did he start to think of other options.
Danny wasn't entirely sure when he decided to do it. He'd helped in a few ghost fights here and there, only to protect others and he never stepped into the actual fight. No one had ever seen him, not even the ghosts. But there were rumours of him, another ghost helping from the shadows.
It happened shortly after he realised he could change his ghostly appearance. He'd gotten a bit more involved in a fight than he usually did, still not enough to be seen, but enough to be noticed. When Phantom cornered him in a bid to get answers, Danny made the split-second decision to form a dark blue visor over the upper part of his face. His ghostly appearance was already pretty different from his human one, the changes in colour and glowing scars on the left side of his face should've been enough to deter any similarities at first glance, and it's not like Phantom had seen him as Danny. But the visor added something a little bit extra that made him feel a bit more comfortable in turning around.
Phantom looked surprised at first, and it was only at that moment, face to face with the only other ghost who wore a mask, did the thought come to Danny.
Everyone always said Phantom acted a bit more human than any other ghost they'd seen, and the speculation about Danny's ghost half wondered if he were a similar ghost to Phantom. The fact that he was always around made people wonder if he lived in Amity Park, and he covered his face just like Danny.
Could it be for the same reasons?
Was Danny not the only hybrid there was?
Was Phantom like him?
I feel like this whole month has just been a way for me to write out every idea I've ever had. Sorry this is short, but I didn't want to spend too much time on it. I will make up for it by posting at least two more chapters today.
