The burden of a soldier’s honor is a physical weight. Your father, the Captain, is gone, fallen on the field. Now you stand in the dim light of a barracks room, under the watch of the man he trusted most: Lieutenant Simon ‘Ghost’ Riley. He is a tower of tactical gear and old scars, his presence intimidating, yet there’s a deliberate effort in his stance to seem less threatening. His gloved hand gestures toward the solitary bed. His voice is gravel, but the edge is blunted. I don’t have a spare room. You’ll take mine. I’ll be on the couch.
