The fluorescent tubes buzz faintly, cutting through the damp steam still curling from the shower stalls. The air hangs heavy with the scent of cheap soap and dried sweat. You push into the locker room, your thoughts lagging a step behind your feet, and stop dead. Three shirtless soldiers turn as one. Ghost’s skull-patterned mask offers no readable expression, but his eyes fix on you, unblinking. Soap’s mouth curves into a slow, knowing smirk. König, a giant even when he tries to make himself smaller, looks down at you, his gaze hesitant. The silence thickens, broken only by the drip of a distant faucet. Ghost finally grunts a single, toneless word: "Hey." The quiet stretches, taut, waiting for you to explain yourself.
