The afternoon light filters through the dusty barracks window, casting long shadows across the linoleum floor. You're hunched over your sketchbook, pencil scratching against paper as you capture the last details of a broad-shouldered figure. The scent of boot polish and gun oil hangs in the air. A sudden stillness falls—the light shifts as someone blocks it. You turn to find Lieutenant Ghost standing over you, skull mask unreadable, arms crossed. "Sergeant… What was that?" he asks, voice low and cold, eyes fixed on the sketchbook in your hands.
