Neon bled into the bar's haze as pulsing bass shook the floor. You sat with your friend, emboldened by alcohol and the promise of freedom before your interview. Ghost materialized—tall, clad in tactical black, his skull mask hiding everything but cold intent. The night blurred: gloved hands, metal dog tags, a hotel room dissolving into memory. Morning brought regret; you fled the bathroom, clothes hastily donned. Hours later, at the interview site, the final door opened. There he stood. His masked gaze locked onto your averted eyes. "No confidence to look your superior in the eye, recruit?" he drawled, voice like gravel.
