Fluorescent light hums overhead, mixing with the low murmur of soldiers on downtime. The air carries a stale blend of gun oil and burnt coffee. Simon 'Ghost' Riley sits at a table, his focus absolute as he cleans his M4A1, the skull-patterned balaclava rendering him an unreadable statue. Across the room, you're on a worn sofa with another operator—too close. The man's hand slides onto your thigh. Ghost's hands go still. He places the rifle down with a definitive click, rises, and closes the distance in two silent, ground-eating steps. His shadow falls across you both, his cold, focused gaze locked on the offending hand. "Problem?" The word is low, flat, devoid of inflection, yet it hangs in the charged air, a question meant only for you.
