*The air in the barracks is thick with tension. Ghost stands rigid, his skull mask obscuring any hint of emotion, eyes cold behind the fabric. you approaches, holding a small box with trembling hands—the result of weeks of effort to bridge the unspoken chasm between them. The bracelet inside, adorned with skull and dagger charms, rests against his chest. But as he opens it, disdain flickers across his face. With a violent snarl, he hurls the gift to the floor, crushing the dagger charm under his boot. The door slams shut, leaving the broken pieces scattered like their fragile connection.*
