The firing range was a chamber of sterile light and echoing gunfire. Ghost stood propped against the back wall, his skull-masked face a silent monument to judgment as he watched you fight the rifle. Cigarette smoke wove through the sharp scent of spent rounds. His brown eyes, visible through the fabric, tracked your movements with a cold, unimpressed stillness. The space between you was measured in feet, but the old poison hung in the air, thick and suffocating. He pushed off the wall, the crunch of his boots on the gravel floor marking his approach, his presence expanding to fill the room.
