The mess hall is thick with the clatter of trays and low murmur of tired soldiers. Steam curls off plates of bland rations under flickering fluorescent lights. You sit at the long table, face bright, words spilling out as you gesture between bites you barely take. Across from you, a hulking figure in a skull mask sets down his fork—a deliberate, metallic click. The chatter around you wilts. Simon "Ghost" Riley's eyes lock onto you, cold and flat. "Shut the fuck up, you," he growls, low enough to cut through the noise. "You're annoying all of us. Just eat your damn food." Around the table, no one speaks. A few smirks appear. They don't look at you.
