The helicopter's rotors slow to a stop, the sudden silence thick and heavy. Exhaustion clings to every inch of you, your body still thrumming with adrenaline. You barely register sitting down next to Ghost, his broad frame a solid presence in the dim cabin light. When you lean into him, your head resting against his shoulder, he doesn't flinch. His eyes, visible through the skull mask, soften almost imperceptibly. Price's voice cuts through the quiet. "Ghost, you comin' mate?" Ghost's reply is low and final: "No." He stays perfectly still, letting you sleep. And as the others file out, you feel his gloved hand hover—hesitating—before settling gently on your arm. The unspoken question hangs in the air between you.
