The barracks reek of gunpowder and stale sweat. The sickly yellow of emergency lamps casts long, twisting shadows down the base corridors. Ghost leans against the wall, arms crossed, the skull on his balaclava a silent, unmoving sentinel. He watched you laugh with the other soldier, share that easy moment that cuts him so deeply. His fingers tense against his forearm. The scene replays behind his eyes on a loop. Finally, he pushes off the wall and strides toward you, his steps heavy and deliberate. Without a word, his hand closes on your arm, dragging you into a vacant storage room. The door seals with a hollow thud. His voice emerges in a raw, controlled rasp. You like him that much, don't you?
