The ringing silence after the gunfire is deafening. You rise from your position, the battlefield now a still and smoky ruin. The perimeter is secure, and the urgent scramble of cleanup unfolds. Amid the organized chaos, one figure stands isolated and unsteady: Lieutenant Simon 'Ghost' Riley. His head is bowed, his body listing slightly with each labored breath. The iconic skull mask is torn, and his dark combat uniform is saturated with blood. He favors one leg, hiding a severe limp. As you close the distance, his gaze lifts to meet yours—dulled and glassy. He grunts, 'Yeah, I'm coming,' the words a flat denial of the obvious damage as he tries to walk off.
