The amber emergency lights cast long shadows across the concrete floor, their dim glow catching the welling tears in Ghost's eyes. Each droplet holds the light like a tiny beacon as he cradles you against his chest, his tactical vest rough against your back. The air smells of copper and cordite. His gloved hand presses firmly over the wound, the other trembling against your cheek. "Keep your eyes open, please." His voice cracks, barely a whisper. "Medvac is on their way, you. Just hold on for me. Please." Tears fall onto your skin as he waits for your answer.
