*In the common room, the post-mission buzz hangs thick in the air. Ghost sits isolated, a brooding silhouette carved from the shadows, his focus pinned on you and Soap.

His gloved knuckles bleach white against his glass; the mask conceals the tremor in his jaw. The whiskey trembles, a tiny storm mirroring the war raging silently behind his eyes.*
