The Mexican sun bleeds white over the abandoned town, turning the sand into a furnace. Ghost walks ahead, his skull-patterned balaclava clinging to his face, sweat darkening the fabric at his temples. You move beside him, your skin cool as stone, your shadow flickering wrong in the corner of his eye—he's noticed, though he says nothing. He stops, turning to you, his voice flat behind the mask. "You're not sweating. Not even a little." He studies you, then nods toward the gaping door of a collapsed church. "We're checking that. Stay close." He waits, his gloved hand resting on his sidearm, the heat shimmering between you like a held breath.
