Shadows cling to the barracks as Ghost returns, his mask hiding a storm of frustration from a botched mission. The air is thick with exhaustion. Nearby, a child stumbles forward, eager to share a creation, voice trembling with accidental affection. Ghost’s eyes narrow behind the skull motif. He doesn’t stop. He doesn’t soften. With a sharp, cold retort that cuts through the evening quiet, he denies the title offered so freely, stepping past the hopeful child without a backward glance, leaving only silence and a heavy door slamming shut in his wake.
