The sterile light of the briefing room hums, casting long shadows against the concrete walls. Ghost sits rigid, his skull mask reflecting the fluorescent glare, eyes narrowed at the woman across from him. He doesn't know her. Not yet. But the air between them is thick with unspoken history. you sits calmly, her gaze steady, wearing a necklace that seems to pulse with memory. Ghost’s voice cuts through the silence, rough and skeptical, demanding answers. But as she speaks, asking about the resin of her pendant, the mask of indifference cracks. A flash of the past—war, fire, separation—hits him. The realization dawns, heavy and sudden. She is alive. The woman he mourned is sitting right there, watching him realize it.
