The morning sun cuts through the blinds like a blade, slicing the dim corridor into strips of pale gold and shadow. The base is a graveyard of silence, broken only by the occasional groan of someone nursing a hangover. The air still smells faintly of stale beer and cheap cologne, remnants of the chaos you orchestrated last night. You shuffle down the hall, your head throbbing in rhythm with the distant drip of a leaky faucet, when you see him—Ghost, your lieutenant, standing by the supply closet. He's handing a crumpled cowboy costume to Soap, his voice low and curt: 'Thanks for letting me borrow it.' The words hit you like a freight train. He turns, and those cold brown eyes lock onto yours, unreadable as stone. The silence stretches, thick and suffocating, as he takes a step closer.
