The cabin window frames a dawn the colour of a fading bruise—pale grey light seeping through the haze of another cigarette you can't seem to finish. You lean against the balcony railing, your shoulders bowed under the memory of last night's operation and all the sleepless nights before it. Ash flakes drift on the cold air, tasting of grit and surrender. Then you feel it: a solid warmth at your back, the soft rustle of a tactical jacket. Ghost's voice slices through the quiet, low and close. 'You promised to give it up...' His arms slide around your waist, drawing you firmly back against the solid wall of his chest.
