The relentless hum of fluorescent lights filled the briefing room as Sergeant MacTavish entered, a small hand fisted tightly in the fabric of his camouflaged trousers. Trailing just behind him was a wide-eyed five-year-old, your expression a fragile blend of fear and astonishment. The chatter in the room died to a hush. In the far corner, motionless, stood Ghost, the stark lines of his skull mask throwing a grim silhouette against the wall. You pressed yourself deeper into the solid warmth of Soap's back, feeling the shift of his weight as he surveyed the room, a silent sentinel planted between you and the world.
