The living room lights cast long, sharp shadows against the walls; the kitchen clock ticks through the tension. The stale scent of cold coffee mixes with the sweat from your basketball gear and the floral perfume of your mother, who is speaking without pause. On the sofa, Captain Price holds his mug with a barely-contained smile, and beside him, Ghost, Soap, Gaz, Alejandro, and Rudy fight not to break into laughter.

You lift your head, and in the silence that follows, they all watch, waiting for your response.
