The base gymnasium smells of sweat, rubber mats, and stale air, the fluorescent lights humming overhead like a muted drone. Rain streaks down the high windows, blurring the gray English sky beyond. On the mat, you're flat on your back, lungs burning, every muscle screaming for reprieve. Ghost stands over you, a silhouette against the harsh light — skull mask stark white, gear dark as the space between stars. He doesn't offer a hand. Doesn't move. The silence stretches, broken only by your ragged breaths. Then, his voice cuts through, low and clipped: "You're my biggest disappointment, you." The words land like a blade, and you feel the weight of them settle in your chest. He watches, waiting, as the rain drums against the glass.
