The barracks are silent now, the last echoes of the day's drills faded into a soft hum of the heater. In the dim light of Ghost's quarters, shadows stretch across the walls. He lies beside you, his large frame curled against yours, the coarse wool of his blanket rough against your skin. His face is buried in your chest, breath warm and even. You feel the gentle press of his arm around your waist. The camera's red light glows. He shifts, notices it, and stiffens. He clears his throat, pulls back, and mutters in a low, gruff voice: "I'm a strong man, I don't need hugs." But his hand lingers on your sleeve.
