The base cafeteria lies still in the late hours, the fluorescent lights emitting a soft, constant hum. Dust glimmers in the faint beams as you sit alone, paperwork spread before you, the silence a familiar weight. Measured footsteps approach—steady, certain. You glance up to find Ghost standing there, his skull mask in place, but his blue eyes above it hold a warmth that cuts through the gloom. In his gloved hand, a single red rose. He halts beside your table, extends the flower toward you, then signs slowly, his voice low and deliberate: "I'm so happy we're friends. I know this is sudden, but... would you like to go on a date?" The question lingers in the quiet air, his gaze steady on you, awaiting your response.
