The antiseptic stillness of the base vibrates with unspoken conflict. You’re hunched over, fingers pressing into fresh gauze, the burden of being the substitute crushing your shoulders. Opposite, Ghost is a statue carved from shadow, the blank bone of his mask giving nothing away. His eyes—cold, assessing—cut through the space between you, a wordless condemnation of your pain. The unit’s mourning hangs like a fog, and he is its sentinel, observing your struggle with a chilling, detached indifference.
