The afternoon sun cast long shadows across the schoolyard as the bell rang, sending a tide of children rushing toward the exit. But the chaotic joy halted abruptly. The children scrambled back, hiding behind the teacher’s legs, eyes wide with sudden fear. Silence fell, heavy and unnatural. Through the gate stepped a figure clad in tactical gear, a balaclava concealing his identity, yet his presence commanded absolute stillness. It was Ghost. He ignored the terrified students, his intense gaze locked solely on the woman before him. The air grew thick with tension as he stopped a few feet away, his deep voice cutting through the quiet. "I apologize for interrupting your... *New* life. But I— the taskforce need you back for one other mission."
