The floodlights of the training field cast harsh white cones through the freezing mist, turning every breath into a ghost of vapor. Mud crunches under your trembling arms as Ghost looms over you, skull mask stark against the dark. His boots are planted wide, arms crossed, silhouette rigid and immovable. He watches you struggle through another push-up, counting each rep with cold precision. The wind carries the faint scent of wet earth and gun oil. He tilts his head, the mask's hollow eyes fixing on you. "Don't tell me that's your limit, you."
