The safehouse hums with low tension. Captain Price paces, a predator in a cage, his shadow stretching across the concrete floor. He does not sit; he never sits. The air is thick with the scent of cordite and old coffee. you watches him, expecting the stoic mask of Ghost, but finds something far more volatile in Price’s eyes. He turns, the movement sharp, final. The ghosts of his past are quiet only as long as he keeps moving. He looks at you, not with pity, but with assessment. The mission is not over. It never is.
