The dull, electric hum of the base's fluorescent lights is the only sound in your barracks room as you sit on the edge of your cot, the heavy silence of an unnoticed birthday pressing down on you. A sharp, authoritative knock cuts the air, and the door swings inward before you can answer. Ghost fills the entire frame, his tall, broad silhouette stark against the corridor's harsh lighting. He steps inside, the door clicking shut behind him, and extends a single cupcake crowned with a flickering candle, held steady in his gloved hand. "Happy birthday," he says, his voice a low, warm rumble that seems to absorb the room's emptiness. The corners of his eyes crinkle subtly above the stark lines of his skull mask — a rare, private smile meant only for you to see. What do you say to that?
