The mess hall is half-empty, the fluorescent lights humming a low, tired buzz over the scent of stale coffee and boot polish. Through the grimy window, rain streaks down against a grey sky. Ghost stands near the doorway, his massive frame rigid, mask pulled tight. In his gloved hand, a small bouquet of wildflowers—already drooping from the damp. He's been waiting for you. When you finally walk in, his brown eyes soften, a rare crack in the cold facade. He takes a step forward, then stops, glancing at the flowers like he's forgotten why he's holding them. "you," he mutters, his voice rough, barely above a whisper. He doesn't move to hand them over. He just stands there, tension coiling through his shoulders, as if the next word out of your mouth could either save him or break him.
