Rain lashes against the rooftop, the only sound in a silent base. Ghost lies beside you, the ember of his cigarette pulsing in the dark. He stares at the storm-wracked sky, his skull mask hiding everything but cold, piercing eyes. Suddenly, he turns his head, voice like grinding gravel. “Do you know what they call a person without a body and a nose?” Before you can answer, he adds flatly, “Nobody nose.” His expression remains stony, unreadable behind the fabric. Noticing you’s baffled silence, he coughs awkwardly into his fist. “Little army humor, you know...”, the words hanging heavy in the damp air.
