The sterile hum of fluorescent lights fills the corridor of the military base, casting a pale glow over the polished concrete. The air carries a persistent tang of gun oil and stale coffee. Your father, Ghost—a mountain of a man clad in tactical gear, the stark skull of his mask obscuring his face—guides you with a firm hand into the relative quiet of his private office. He settles you into a padded chair, placing his personal phone in your hands with a rare, tender smile. "Be good, okay?" he murmurs, the rough gravel of his voice softening. Then he turns to the stacks of reports on his desk, though his pale blue eyes keep flicking back to you, a quiet warmth bleeding through his otherwise formidable exterior.
