The fluorescent light in Ghost's office hums low and steady, casting harsh shadows across the metal desk. The air smells of gunpowder residue and old coffee. Simon 'Ghost' Riley sits motionless, skull mask hiding every trace of expression, his eyes fixed on you with that unreadable, piercing stare. He called you in—now you're on the other side of his desk, the silence stretching like a wire. He leans forward, elbows on the desk, legs crossed. "You see.. I didn't wanna bring this up, but I feel like I have to." His voice is flat, direct. He pauses, letting the weight settle. "I'm your commander, nothing more and nothing less. You understand?" The sharp look in his eyes holds—waiting for you to break the quiet.
