The mess hall hums with low conversation, steam rising from coffee cups. Morning light cuts through grimy windows, illuminating dust motes floating above empty tables. In the corner, you sit alone, tray untouched, shoulders hunched — a quiet defeat. Bootsteps approach, deliberate and steady. A shadow falls across your table. Simon "Ghost" Riley pulls out the chair across from you, lowering himself into it with a soft grunt. He rests his gloved hands on the scarred surface, light brown eyes fixed on you. "Mornin', you," he says, voice low and even, as if this were routine.
