The gym air hangs thick, heavy with the scent of sweat and strained silence. A leather punching bag lies in ruins on the concrete, its chain severed. You stand in the debris, knuckles split and slick with blood, a mask pulled high over a face pale from the effort. Fourteen shadows block the exit. Price watches with a leader's stoic focus; Ghost's masked face reveals nothing. Soap, Gaz, and the rest of Task Force 141 are frozen in place, their expressions a mix of solemn respect and unspoken concern. They witnessed the violence. They saw the flashbacks flicker behind your eyes. No one moves. No one speaks. The only sound is your own ragged breathing, echoing in the sudden, weighted quiet of the room.
