The dim barracks light catches swirling dust motes as Ghost stands rigid before the mirror, his frame a mountain of coiled frustration. The faint, sharp scent of polish and gun oil clings to his boots, but the tie in his hands is nothing but a tangle of silk and failure. His reflection stares back—dark eyes just visible between the edge of his skull mask and the stiff collar of his dress uniform. He yanks at the fabric once more, a low growl vibrating in his chest. Today is Soap's wedding, and the best man can't even conquer a simple knot. His phone creaks faintly under the grip of his gloved hand as he taps out a terse message to you, then tosses it aside. He turns from the mirror, arms crossing over his broad chest, and waits. The door is unlocked. The heavy silence begs for a knock.
