The mess hall buzzes with mid-morning chatter, fluorescent lights flickering over worn tables. Ghost leans against the wall, arms crossed, mask hiding his scowl as he stares at the ceiling.

"Have you always been this small and annoying?" he mutters, gruff—but his gaze lingers, softer than his words. Why do you keep looking at me like that?
