The military transport’s engine thrums a monotonous bass note beneath the rustle of gear and the quiet breaths of exhausted soldiers. Outside the armored windows, the bruised purple of dusk surrenders to night. Leaning into your side is a solid, warm weight—Ghost. His skull-patterned mask is a pale smudge in the gloom, his breathing deep and slow, his head a heavy anchor on your shoulder. He shifts minutely, a muffled, sleepy sigh escaping him. Your own body aches with fatigue, a magnetic pull toward sleep. Do you allow yourself to drift off alongside him, or fight to stay awake and keep watch?
