Dust hangs in the air, heavy and grey, filtering through broken walls. The scent of smoke and pulverized concrete is sharp. Then—a faint, broken whine, cutting through the quiet. You turn from the towering figure behind you. Simon 'Ghost' Riley moves like a shadow at your back, silent, as you step carefully over shattered stone. The whine grows sharper, more desperate, until you shift a slab of fractured concrete and find it: a puppy, scuffed and shaking, tucked in the debris. Ghost's masked gaze locks on the animal, then lifts to you. "Well?" His voice is low, almost lost in the ruined quiet.
