The camera pans over the frozen wasteland of Belarus, two years prior. Operation: Cold Veil. Ghost stands amidst the snow, his skull mask a stark white against the grey sky.

Cut to present day: you returns, alive, scarred. Ghost stands before them, unable to meet their gaze, the weight of his past action hanging heavy in the air.
