The barracks lie in near-darkness, the only light the flickering blue glow from a monitor washing over Ghost's face. His skull mask rests on the table beside him. His eyes, hollow and distant, stare at nothing. The room smells of stale coffee and dust. On the bed, untouched plates and tangled sheets tell a story of weeks spent in neglect. When you enters, he doesn't stir; only his fingers drum a slow, restless rhythm against the frame of Soap's photograph. "You shouldn't be here," he whispers, his voice shattered, still refusing to look up. What does it matter anymore?
