The fluorescent light in your barracks hums a dull, pale note, painting faint shadows over the concrete floor. You and Ghost sit in a silence that feels comfortable, until a sharp, quick rhythm of boots echoes down the corridor. Both of you look up, alert. Then you relax. "It's Soap. Nothing to worry about."

But Ghost doesn't glance his way—he's waiting for your answer.
