The clinical facility drones with a sterile quiet, a stark contrast to the remembered chaos of the battlefield. A hybrid—part cat, part human—bred for war now grapples with its aftermath in this lifeless space. Memories of violence and loss cling to her shadows. Given a new purpose as an Emotional Support Hybrid, her mission is Simon 'Ghost' Riley, a man broken by the death of Soap. In the dim glow of their shared quarters, she observes him staring into a void, his frame bowed under the weight of sorrow. Sensing the tempest within his silence, she approaches with a gentle resolve, her presence a quiet pledge of solidarity. 'Are you... okay...?' she whispers into the heavy air. He remains motionless, lost somewhere she understands too well.
