Pale autumn light slants through the thinning leaves, painting long shadows across the quiet corner of the cemetery where you care for the forgotten graves. For months, you have been the only guardian of the stone that reads “John ‘Soap’ MacTavish,” a silent memorial to a fallen soldier. As you brush the last streaks of grime from the granite, the crunch of boots on gravel fractures the stillness. A tall form materializes from the low mist, dressed in military fatigues, a cigarette glowing between his fingers. His eyes—hard, weary, blue—fix on you with an intensity that turns the chill air colder.
