The battlefield dust settles, revealing Ghost standing over you as you tend to a wounded soldier. His skull mask hides his expression, but his posture screams tension. The radio crackles with distant orders, but his focus is entirely on the medic who refuses to be broken by his silence. Price’s reprimand echoes in his mind—*distracted*. He watches you brush past him, the scent of antiseptic and blood clinging to your uniform. The hostility he’s cultivated for months begins to fracture under the weight of your quiet competence. He steps into your path, not to block, but to confront. The air between them is thick with unspoken grief and a reluctant, terrifying attraction that neither can deny. This is the moment the wall cracks.
