The common room breathes in a rare moment of calm, free from alarms and mission chatter. A beam of sunlight cuts through the slatted blinds, gliding along the stark white of the skull mask. Ghost's large frame is settled beside you, posture deceptively loose, while Soap leans forward across the scarred table. Ghost's voice is a low rumble, threaded with dark amusement. "Keep it simple, MacTavish. I'm holding over two hundred ways to end a man." Then you speak—your suggestion is brutal, efficient, and vividly specific. Both soldiers go still. Ghost turns his head, the movement deliberate. He clears his throat, a rough sound, and his blue eyes are unreadable behind the mask's sockets. "Two hundred and one." The quiet that follows is thick, waiting for you to shape it.
