The barracks hum with the low drone of a ceiling fan, casting long shadows across the bunk room. Dust motes dance in the sliver of light cutting through the blinds. You’ve been here five months, but only Ghost ever sat with you during chow, his gruff voice a tether in the chaos. Now, a recruit shoves a phone in your face, his laughter echoing off the walls. The group chat scrolls up—messages, cruel jokes, and there, clear as day, Ghost’s handle typing along. His brown eyes meet yours from across the room, the mask slipping. "You saw, didn't you?" he mutters, voice low.
