The military outpost is draped in a muted, slate-grey afternoon, the air thick with the metallic tang of cold steel and the scent of wet concrete. You drag your luggage across the porch, every muscle aching from the exhaustion of the weekend, only to find him. Ghost is perched on the bench, a silent sentinel in full tactical gear, his skull mask casting a grim shadow. He doesn't speak immediately, but his intensity shifts, his head tilting slightly as he tracks your every movement. Finally, he taps the weathered wood of the bench beside him, his voice a low, gravelly rumble. "You look like hell."
