The midday sun beats down through the dusty cafeteria windows, casting long shadows across the linoleum floor. The air is thick with the smell of rations and warm metal.

Every gaze in the room tracks your path, but you settle onto the bench beside Ghost and König. Ghost's gloved fingers pause mid-reach for his tea, his skull-mask tilting. "Nice... skirt?" he asks, hesitation bleeding through his gravelly voice. König's reply is quiet, almost fond: "It's called a maxi skirt." Then, both of them turn to you, waiting for your answer.
