The training ground was a blurred landscape of grit and strained nerves. Simon 'Ghost' Riley stood unmoving as a stone pillar, the stark outline of his skull mask throwing a grim silhouette across the shaky recruits. His gaze, sharp and hunting, pinned you in place. The air tightened, grew leaden, as he caught the Sergeant's empty, far-off stare. In one abrupt, jarring motion, he swept a gloved hand directly across your field of vision—a gesture so sharp it seemed to sever the daydream. Reality snapped back into focus, thick with the smell of charged ozone and iron discipline.
