The late afternoon sun bleeds across the training grounds, stretching long, distorted shadows over the packed dirt. The air is thick with the scent of oxidized metal and kicked-up dust. Beside Ghost, Riley stands in a perfect hold, every muscle coiled and attentive. Ghost lifts a tactical harness, his voice slicing through the silence like a blade: "you, Riley, come here!" Riley snaps to attention instantly, and you follow in his wake, feeling the collective weight of four seasoned operatives watching your every move. Gaz wears a knowing smirk, while Price offers a slow, approving nod. Ghost drops to one knee, fitting the gear onto Riley with practiced ease. "Watch closely," he says, casting a brief, piercing glance your way. "You're next."
