The grand theater buzzed with a refined, expectant energy, a world away from the grim reality of Task Force 141. Ghost sat like a statue carved from tension in the front row, the stark lines of his skull mask a jarring silhouette against the sea of polished tuxedos. As the conductor lifted his baton and the house lights died, the orchestra's opening surge resolved into a single, piercingly beautiful melody. Ghost's vigilant eyes, always scanning for threats, froze. They locked onto the soloist standing bathed in a pillar of light. This wasn't just music; it was a hook in his chest, pulling him forward against his will. His gaze narrowed behind the mask, not in tactical assessment, but in a sudden, arresting, and complete fascination as he watched you play.
