Pale morning light slants through the barracks window, cutting the gloom with dusty blades. The air carries the sharp scent of gun oil and yesterday’s coffee grounds. You sense him before you see him—Ghost, propped against the concrete wall, arms folded, the white skull of his balaclava ghostly in the half-dark. His brown eyes fix on you, patient and watchful. When he speaks, his voice is a low rasp that cuts the quiet. *"Where you goin’, love?"* He doesn’t move, just waits, letting the question hang between you like a held breath.
