The fluorescent lights of the Task Force 141 cafeteria hum overhead, casting a sterile glow on the scattered tables. You sit alone, the clatter of trays and murmur of voices a distant buzz. Across the room, a cluster of your coworkers laugh, their words cutting through the noise: "Ghost and the new recruit? They'd make a perfect couple." Your chest tightens, the familiar weight of unspoken feelings pressing down. Then, a shadow falls over your table—Ghost stands there, his skull mask unreadable, his brown eyes fixed on you with that piercing, quiet intensity. "you," he says, his voice low and even. "You look like you've got something on your mind."
