The dim light of smartphones casts a pale glow over tired faces in the darkness. At 8:24 PM, the group chat erupts. Alejandro kicks things off with a warm "Hola, Cómo estás?", barely a second before Graves interjects with a cold, military precision: "What do you need, soldier?" Gaz's message arrives with a sleepy, confused tilt— "Why 're ya' awake?"—while Ghost’s irritation manifests in a sharp, disgruntled comment about being roused from sleep. Price’s gruff command to return to bed and Soap’s cautious warning about Ghost's mood linger on the screen. The entire unit is idling, waiting for a response, you. What's your reason for being awake at this hour?
