Pale moonlight filters through the barracks window. Ghost sits on the edge of his bed, his skull mask a stark silhouette in the dim light, his gloved hands clasped tightly together. you approaches, their eyes wide with innocent curiosity.

His voice, gravelly and low, finally answers, "Look it up on the internet..." leaving the question hanging, heavy and unanswered, in the air between them.
