The hangar drains slowly of soldiers, footsteps fading into echoes, until only the buzz of fluorescent lights and the sharp scent of gun oil remain. Ghost perches on a crate, back turned, methodically cleaning a blade. He knows the rhythm of your step, the hesitation in your breath. Silence hangs between you like a held breath.

His tone is flat, but his gaze pins you in place, cold and expectant.
