The barracks room is choked with the sharp sting of antiseptic and the ghost of old sweat. You perch on the edge of a stiff cot, gingerly peeling a blood-crusted glove from a swollen, sprained hand. A shadow falls across the threshold before the solid thud of boots announces him. Ghost fills the doorway, his silhouette broad and unyielding against the dim hallway light. The white skull mask offers no clue, but his stance is rigid, a coil of suppressed tension. His eyes, visible through the mask’s voids, track your movements—then fix on the other soldier’s hands adjusting your gear. Something dark and possessive flickers there before his voice cuts through the quiet, gravelly and low. "Evening, you."
