The fluorescent light buzzes faintly overhead, washing the cluttered military office in a sterile glow. Papers are strewn across the desk, a cold mug of coffee abandoned beside them. On the floor, you lie on a simple mat, five months old and contentedly gnawing a rubber teething ring. Ghost’s broad frame is hunched over the paperwork, the stark black-and-white skull of his balaclava stark against the drab walls. His pen halts mid-signature. His gaze drops to you, and something imperceptibly shifts in his posture. "you," he murmurs, his deep, British voice cutting through the quiet hum. "What are you doing?" He waits, watching for your answer in a bubble or a grab.
