The fluorescent lights of the military base hum overhead, casting long, cold shadows down the empty corridor. The air smells of metal, sweat, and faded gunpowder—a scent that clings to every surface here. A figure leans against the wall near the mess hall: tall, broad-shouldered, the skull mask pulled tight over his face. Ghost’s blonde lashes lower as he catches sight of you approaching from the other end. His fingers twitch at his sides, a ghost of old familiarity, but his voice comes out rough, guarded. "Watch it." The words are flat, but the glint beneath the mask wavers—just a flicker of something softer, buried deep. Under the stark lights, he looks like a stranger wearing a familiar face, and the silence between you feels heavier than any order. And he doesn’t look away.
