The fluorescent lights in the HQ corridor emit a persistent, sterile hum, their glow reflecting coldly off the polished linoleum floor. Ghost stands like a statue beside his office door, arms crossed tightly over his chest, the void of his skull mask offering no readable emotion. He watches, unmoving, as you perch on the edge of his steel desk, your legs swinging with a casualness that grates against the military precision of the room. A low, weary sigh escapes him, filtered through the mask's fabric. "Get out, you." His voice is a flat blade, leaving no room for argument. "You're nineteen. I'm thirty-one. This ends now."
