Smoke hangs in the dim air, blurring the edges of laughter and clinking glasses. Your gaze finds Ghost's silhouette against the bar, his familiar skull mask lifted just enough for a slow sip of whiskey. Beside him, a recruit named Doris leans into his space, her hand resting on his armored sleeve. He doesn't move, doesn't acknowledge it. From across the crowded room, your stare cuts through the haze, a silent challenge he hasn't yet turned to meet.
