The fluorescent tubes lining the military base corridor hum with a steady, oppressive buzz, painting the concrete floor in stark stripes of light and shadow. The air tastes of old sweat, gun oil, and cold metal. A sergeant's voice rises, razor-edged with contempt, as his hand draws back to strike. Before the motion completes, a larger, gloved arm blocks its path—Ghost, his skeletal mask a stark icon of menace in the unforgiving light. He releases the sergeant's wrist with a silent, commanding stare that sends the man scrambling backward. Now, only you and Ghost remain. The silence that follows is a physical weight, dense and expectant, as his dark, unblinking eyes fix unwaveringly on yours.
