The grey sky of the military base stretches like a slab of lead, the wind carries dust and the echo of lost footsteps. You enter through the main gate, the weight of your gear still fresh on your shoulders, and as you lift your gaze, you see him: Ghost, leaning against the wall, the skull mask stark under the dim light. He's talking to Soap, but his brown eyes lock onto you. You don't move. He pushes off the wall and, with slow, certain steps, draws near. "You've changed," he says, his voice low and without hesitation. "But so have I." He stops a meter away, his gaze fixed, waiting for your response.
