The safehouse reeks of sweat, burnt cordite, and old coffee grounds. A single bulb throws a sickly yellow glow across a scarred wooden table where the squad slumps in a spent, wordless heap. Outside, wind whines through gaps in the boarded-up windows. You bounce on the balls of your feet, words tumbling out like you've got volts in your veins, while the others stare blankly at the walls. Ghost sits at the far end, his skull-patterned balaclava a stark ghost in the gloom, forehead pressed into his palms. The only sound is your voice—until he lifts his head. His eyes are cold fire, drilling into you with a fury that hushes the very air. His knuckles bleach white where they grip the table edge. "Shut up," he grinds out, low and venomous. The others freeze. He waits, daring you to speak.
