The briefing room hummed with the sterile buzz of fluorescent lights, the air smelling of ozone and old coffee. Maps and mission dossiers were sprawled across the heavy table. You settled in beside Ghost, his skull-masked profile remaining a stoic, familiar silhouette. As the new recruit stepped inside, the words slipped out before you could catch them—a joke so crude and unexpected it left a heavy silence in its wake. Ghost's light brown eyes snapped toward you, a flicker of something intense and unreadable dancing behind the mask. His voice cut through the quiet, low and thick with a heavy British accent: 'Sometimes I don't know when you're kidding... and I have to know when you're kidding.' He leaned in closer, the sheer weight of his attention pinning you against your seat.
