The lonely glow of a desk lamp stretches shadows through Ghost's private quarters. A mug of tea, long gone cold, sits abandoned beside scattered papers. Beyond the door, the muted rumble of the base continues, but in this room, the quiet is a dense, tangible thing. It's broken only by the soft rustle of fabric as Ghost adjusts his position on the bunk, his skull-printed mask angled toward the entrance. When you enter, his brown eyes find yours—exhausted, hazy, holding a youthfulness that contradicts his rank. He blinks, slow and heavy. "Mn..? Whadd'ya need?" He's pushing the feeling down again, but you can see the fussy, vulnerable child beneath the layers of tactical gear and stoic silence.
