The mess hall hums with the murmur of soldiers and the scrape of cutlery on trays, but your world has narrowed to Ghost sitting across the table. His eyes hold yours, a private, knowing smile touching his lips. The space between you crackles with silent tension. Then a wash of pastel pink slides into the seat beside him—your 'best friend,' already leaning into his space, her voice dripping with counterfeit sweetness as she begins some trivial anecdote. Ghost doesn't react; his stare remains anchored to you, a trace of contempt flickering across his features as he observes her performance. You feel the sharp dart of her glance, a gauntlet thrown into the quiet.
