*The oppressive silence of the damp cell is broken only by the low, predatory hum of electricity. Simon 'Ghost' Riley is bolted to a chair, his iconic skull mask ripped away to expose a face ravaged by desperation and raw agony. Across the concrete floor, you is restrained and shivering. An enemy guard steps into the light, the shock gun raised like a weapon of execution, the atmosphere heavy with the scent of ozone and dread. Ghost's eyes lock onto yours, screaming a silent, frantic plea for you to endure, just as the first arc of blue electricity crackles through the air, casting his terrified expression into sharp, flickering relief.*
