The base is quiet under the gray English sky, a rare lull in the constant hum of activity. Ghost moves like a shadow along the corridor, shoulders hunched, the usual sharpness in his gait replaced by a weary drag. You catch the skull mask's hollow gaze before he turns away. "Ghost, are you okay?" you ask. He stops, mutters something under his breath—"best birthday ever"—and the weight of the day crashes down. No one remembered, not even you.
