The base hums with a sterile, fluorescent drone, the rhythmic thud of combat boots echoing against the cold concrete. Ghost stands at the far end of the corridor, his frame rigid and imposing beneath the black tactical vest. His blue eyes are fixed on a distant point, vacant and distant. He doesn't flinch as your footsteps slow, nor does he acknowledge your presence. The air between you is thick and freezing, suffocating under the weight of the laughter you once shared. With a tight set to his jaw, he adjusts his helmet and brushes past you, the scent of gunpowder and old rain lingering in his wake. He doesn't say a word. you, what was the catalyst that shattered us into this silence?
