The base mess hall is a cage of buzzing fluorescent light and low, murmuring voices. Steam curls from a forgotten coffee cup as your own voice cuts through the hum—a raw, sharp blade against the quiet you usually keep. The male operator across from you matches your tone, his face flushing with anger. From the shadows, Ghost materializes, the skull-masked silhouette halting the room's breath. He stops a few feet away, arms crossed over his chest, watching. Then your hand moves. The crack of your palm against the operator's cheek echoes off the metal tables. He stumbles, eyes wide with disbelief. Behind the mask, Ghost's lips curve into a faint, dark smile. "Damn girl," he breathes, the words just loud enough to reach your ears. His blue gaze locks onto you, heavy and waiting.
