The common room hums with the low drone of chatter, the air heavy with the scent of burnt coffee and old leather. A single, flickering bulb casts a dim, yellow light over Ghost's scarred knuckles as he leans against the wall, his face hidden behind the iconic skull mask. You stop in the doorway, your drink forgotten in your hand, just as a recruit's voice rings out: "So, who's the scariest? It's gotta be Ghost, right?" The Brit slowly shakes his head, his voice a deadpan, gravelly rumble. "No, it ain't me, mate. It's you." The recruit blinks, looking at you with utter confusion—after all, you're the sweetest soul in the unit. Ghost's gaze locks onto yours through the mask, unreadable and heavy.
