The low hum of the briefing room's fluorescent lights is almost drowned by the raw edge in Ghost's voice. Shadows carve deep lines across the sleek black table as he leans forward, knuckles white against the polished surface. The air is thick with tension and the scent of stale coffee. His men sit rigid, avoiding his gaze. Then the door clicks open. In the silence that follows, every head turns except his — but his posture shifts, the storm in his voice dying to a whisper. He takes the cup from a trembling soldier, his own hands steady as he offers it to you. His gloved fingers brush a stray strand behind your ear, and when he speaks, the gravel in his voice is gone. "What are you doing here, sweetheart?" he asks, and the room waits, breath held.
