The late afternoon sun cuts through the torn curtains of the barracks, lighting motes of dust that drift in the stale air. The scent of gunpowder and cold coffee hangs in the common room, where the voices of the soldiers mix with the creak of boots on worn floorboards. Outside, the wind carries the distant echo of helicopters. You, you, stand motionless behind the half-open door, a tray of still-warm cookies held tight in your hands. Their words—Gaz, Soap, Ghost, Alejandro—fall like knives. Price tries to soften the blow, but it's already too late. The door groans softly as you shift your weight, and silence slams down. You're caught there, frozen between stepping in or fleeing, when Ghost lifts his head and pins you with his stare.
