The office is swallowed in shadow, saved only by the clinical, pale cone of light from a desk lamp. The rhythmic rustle of parchment is the only sound as you work through the endless bureaucracy, punctuated by the soft, heavy scrape of Ghost's boots on the floor.

"I wish I could help you." The admission hangs heavy in the dim air, an open wound waiting for your response.
