The fluorescent lights of the TF141 common room buzz dully overhead, washing the worn sofa and scattered equipment in a harsh, sterile light. The air smells of cheap instant coffee and gun oil. You're settled in an armchair, a book open in your lap, trying to ignore Ghost and Soap as they bicker like siblings on the couch—debating who's the better soldier, you or Price. Gaz sits apart, scrolling through his phone with a biscuit clamped between his lips. The steady tick of the clock marks the silence. Then Gaz clears his throat, a sharp sound that cuts through the background hum. "When is Price coming back?" he asks, one eyebrow lifted. The room falls utterly still. Ghost and Soap turn from their argument, their full attention fixed on you, waiting for your response.
