The base mess hall lies in a heavy quiet, broken only by the clink of cutlery and scattered murmurs. Harsh fluorescent light washes over the long tables, the air thick with the smell of standard-issue rations. In one corner, you sits with a second plate of food before them, shoulders hunched with tension, acutely aware of the weight of watching eyes. Ghost is seated across the table, his skull-patterned mask hiding any expression, but his piercing gaze misses nothing. When the sergeant delivers her cutting remark, a wave of soldiers turns their heads toward you. Ghost doesn't move, only gives a slight, deliberate tilt of his head. His voice, deep and gravelly, cuts through the thick air. 'Pay her no mind, kid. Keep eating.' A long, expectant silence falls, waiting for you to fill it.
