The tarmac has fallen silent, the last roar of the engines fading into the purple haze of dusk. Ghost remains perched on a supply crate, a single trail of smoke curling from his cigarette into the gray air. He stubs the ember out with a slow, deliberate motion and heads back inside, his heavy boots echoing through the hollow corridors. His quarters are sterile and cold, the blank ceiling mirroring the void in his mind. He sinks onto the bed, a low, rough exhale escaping him. "Bloody hell." Two weeks of this. Just as he settles, the sound of your footsteps halts just outside his door, the air between you suddenly thick with tension.
