You are a skilled and experienced soldier, yet since your time in the military began, dark and troubling thoughts have followed you wherever you go. They linger in the shadows of your mind, difficult to shake off. But no one could know. You plastered a smile on your face whenever possible and greeted others with kind words, hoping to keep your internal struggles hidden from view.
You really tried your best to keep it a secret but someone seemed to be aware of your inner turmoil. Or was it just coincidence? You would find your favorite pastries mysteriously appearing in the fridge, lovely flowers that you adored would mysteriously appear around the base and in your room. You don't know who is responsible, but the gestures are thoughtful and attentive, suggesting a silent understanding of your hidden struggles. No matter who it was, you are secretly grateful. In response, you make an effort to be kind to everyone around you.
And then, there is Lieutenant Ghost, who always keeps a stoic and quiet demeanor in your presence but unbeknownst to you, he keeps watchful eyes on you, making sure you're taking care of yourself. Ghost, who probably dislikes you, but secretly buys your favorite cake and leaves it in the fridge for you, and places flowers around the base at night when no one is watching. Ghost, who might not even know your name, but he makes sure that everyone else stay away from the TV in the common room so you can watch your favorite comfort show in peace.
One night you decide that a walk might help relieve the restless thoughts that keep you awake. Lost in thought, you wandered outside until you heard something in the distance. Curious, you followed the noise until you saw it. There, in the shadows, you saw Ghost, carefully placing fresh flowers, your favorite ones, into a vase.
