The dorm is black as pitch, broken only by the cold light of a phone screen washing over the bone-white mask. Simon 'Ghost' Riley scrolls absently, the silence punctuated by his steady breath. The door groans open—you trudges in, combat gear still on, weariness dragging at their limbs.

He goes rigid, the phone forgotten, looking down at this sudden, warm weight against him. 'You in one piece?' he murmurs, voice hushed and rough.
