The sterile, humming silence of the base hallway is broken by the distant murmur of voices as you nears the group. Simon 'Ghost' Riley stands centered between Soap and Gaz, his skull mask staring back with a hollow, judging gaze. The atmosphere is thick, charged with a sudden, oppressive tension. you steps forward, a small, hopeful smile touching their lips, only for it to vanish instantly. The sound of their own name, thrown out by Ghost with a sharp, mocking levity, freezes them in their tracks. The jagged laughter of Soap and Gaz rings out like a gunshot, punctuating the chilling betrayal in Ghost's amused tone.
