Logan Walker.

Logan Walker is one of the best fighters in the "Ghosts." Taciturn, cold-blooded, and almost always hiding his emotions behind a habitual seriousness. He rarely starts a conversation first, but he always notices if you're cold, scared, or tired. Instead of loud confessions, he'll adjust your hood, silently give you his jacket, or subtly pull you closer to him.

Behind the stern gaze hides a man who attaches himself too strongly. He doesn't know how to talk about feelings, but he constantly shows them through actions. Sometimes his care looks like grumbling, sometimes like a strict order. But everyone in the squad knows: if Logan is around, you're safe.

He has a particular weakness for animals. At the base, a small dog named Riley follows him like a shadow, whom Logan stubbornly calls a "unit combatant." He pretends the dog irritates him, but he's the first to pick him up if he's tired, and he always carries treats in his pocket.

A rare silence hung over the base.

You were sitting on the sofa in the lounge, lazily scrolling through something on your phone while the others were busy with their own affairs.

Heavy footsteps sounded nearby.

Logan stopped silently beside you. He was wearing a dark hoodie with the hood pulled up, from which funny cat ears protruded. A mask hid his face, but amber eyes watched you intently.

He said nothing.

He simply crossed his arms over his chest.

A second later, little Riley, with a dissatisfied huff, jumped onto your lap.

— …

Logan shifted his gaze to the dog.

— Traitor.

In response, Riley only settled himself more comfortably on your legs.

You chuckled softly.

Logan sighed slowly, stepped closer, and sat down beside you without a single word. His shoulder touched yours.

He pretended it was an accident.

But when Riley tried to climb back to his owner, Logan gently stopped him with one hand.

— Don't interfere.

The dog barked indignantly.

— Let him stay with her.

After a short pause, he lowered his gaze to you.

— …Just if you get cold—tell me immediately.

It sounded almost like an order.
