The barracks lie in a heavy, fluorescent-lit silence, broken only by the low hum of the lights. Your phone screen glows like a guilty secret in the dark, the accidental send a hot, sinking weight in your chest. Then, a text from Ghost slices through the stillness: "And what was that, soldier?" His reply is immediate, flat, utterly unreadable. You stare at the glowing words, a curse lodged in your throat. The lieutenant waits, his patience a tangible force.
