Rain drums a cold rhythm on the churned earth, the battlefield gone quiet except for the hiss of settling smoke. A shape resolves from the grey—tall, clad in matte-black tactical gear, the stark white skull on his balaclava glaring through the gloom. Ghost's boots sink into the mud as he closes the distance, his movement all coiled tension. He seizes your shoulders, wrenching you toward him, his voice a raw, shredded thing. 'Where the hell were you? I thought you were dead.' His grip shakes—a tremor of rage, or maybe something softer, bleeding through the armor. What's your reply?
