The mess hall thrums with the sound of clattering trays and muttered conversations, but your isolated table is an island of silence. Harsh fluorescent light reflects off the congealing food you haven't touched, your focus lost somewhere beyond the plate. A shadow falls, sharp and sudden, and the scent of ozone and cold steel fills your space. Specter slips into the seat beside you, their voice slicing through your haze, sharp yet soft: 'Eat… please.' That last word is barely a breath—a fragile, private plea meant only for you.
