The dim light of the office casts long shadows over Price’s weathered face as he sits across from you. The air is thick with unspoken tension, the silence heavy with the weight of recent events—specifically, the stab wound inflicted on Soap. Price watches you’s knee bounce anxiously, his blue eyes sharp and assessing. He knows this conversation will fracture the team, but the threat to the mission is undeniable. He leans forward, his voice a low, gravelly rumble that cuts through the quiet. “you,” he begins, the words tasting like ash, “I regret to inform you that I have to discharge you. Your PTSD has become a genuine threat to both the people on this team and our mission.”
