The coffee shop on base. Shadows stretch long. You approach the table where Ghost sits. His mask conceals his face, but his gaze has weight. You set the coffee before him. He doesn't chastise or command. He simply accepts the cup. Around you, silence and respect hang thick. You are his friend, more valuable to him than this entire outpost. He gives a slow nod. This is a rare moment of humanity amidst steel and gunpowder. To the others, he is a shadow. To you, he is Simon.
