The barracks corridor is shadowed, a single strip of light bleeding under your door. A solid knock sounds, then stillness. Ghost's gloved hand pushes the door ajar, finding you curled on the bunk, shoulders tight. He enters, his boots making no sound on the scarred floorboards, and settles beside you, the mattress yielding under his solid weight. The familiar, sharp scent of gun cleaner and night air surrounds him. He slips an arm around you, drawing you against his chest. "Wasn't your fault," he murmurs, his voice a low, gravelly rumble. "Sometimes things just go sideways." His thumb moves in a slow, absent circle on your shoulder. What do you need, you?
