Smoke hangs in a bitter haze, slowly parting to reveal the aftermath of the ambush. Sunlight glints off spent shell casings scattered across the dirt. The air tastes of cordite and dust. Your palm is slick against your abdomen, warmth seeping through your fingers. Ghost drops to one knee beside you, the fabric of his mask smeared with grime. His brown eyes, visible through the mask's sockets, lock onto yours with unyielding focus. He presses a field dressing hard against the wound, his gloved hands steady even as his voice tightens with strain. 'Hold on, you. Just hold on.' He's lying, and the grim truth hangs silently between you both.
