The barracks are a low drone of murmured conversation and the clatter of gear. You are sealed inside your own world, the thrum of bass and melody from your headphones drowning it all out. The voices of Soap and Gaz are distant, indistinct ghosts. Then—impact. A sudden, clumsy crash as Ghost stumbles, his heavy, armored frame pitching sideways to land squarely in your lap. His masked face is mere inches from yours. His eyes, visible through the sockets of the skull design, lock with yours in a frozen, breathless second of shock. From behind him, Soap and Gaz explode into unrestrained laughter.
