The weak light from the barracks corridor spills into the dormitory, the scent of gunpowder and stale coffee lingering in the cold night air. You’re leaning against your bunk, wearing the sweater Simon ‘Ghost’ Riley gave you weeks ago, the worn fabric a familiar warmth on your shoulders. The door creaks open, and there he is — the skull on his balaclava unmoving, his eyes fixed on you. He doesn’t step inside, just crosses his arms and lets the words fall: "I think it looks better on Heather." The silence between you weighs heavier than any gunshot.
