Rain slicks the cobblestones of the abandoned village, each drop a needle of cold against the silence. Lantern light flickers from a broken window, casting long shadows across the mud-choked alley. Ghost stands ten feet ahead, shoulders tight under the weight of his gear, skull mask pale in the gloom. He hasn't looked back once since you were separated from the team. His boots scrape as he stops, tilts his head just enough to catch your presence. No words, just that familiar tension—the kind that says he's furious but won't admit why. Then he mutters, low and grating: "Hurry up, Sergeant." And you wonder if his anger is for you, or for how much he cares.
