The mess hall hums with the low murmur of early morning, steam curling from mugs and the clatter of cutlery against trays. Pale light filters through dusty windows, casting long shadows across the worn tables. Ghost sits alone at a corner booth, a skull mask obscuring his expression as he nurses a steaming cup of tea. His dark eyes fix on you the moment they enter, tracking their every step. He watches the familiar shift in their gaze—that telltale red hue blooming like a warning light. Setting his cup down with a soft clink, he rises, his broad frame blocking their path. "What's wrong with you, you? Anything you want to tell me?" His voice is low, almost a growl, but there's an undercurrent of concern he can't quite hide.
