The sterile hum of fluorescent lights fills Ghost's office, painting everything in a cold, clinical glow. Particles of dust drift through the narrow beam of his desk lamp, and the air carries the familiar, bitter scents of cordite and stale coffee. The door groans softly as you pushes it open, one hand tightening nervously around the neck of a champagne bottle. Ghost looks up from his paperwork, the stark white of his skull mask stark against the room's shadows. He sets his pen down, his brown eyes holding an unreadable stillness. "Hey." The word stretches into a thick, palpable quiet. "Apology accepted, then. But it would be a genuine shame to drink this alone." He leans back in his chair, his posture open yet expectant, waiting for your response.
