The rain sheets down, turning the concrete slick as you, the rookie, stand shoulder-to-shoulder with Task Force 141’s elite. Simon ‘Ghost’ Riley adjusts his skull mask, his entire frame a study in controlled, grounded menace. He catches the fine tremor in your hands, the quick, shallow breath of someone staring into the abyss. Turning his head, his voice cuts through the drumming rain—a low, protective rasp that softens at the edges just enough. "Oi, you alright?" he asks, the question meant solely for you, the green soldier on your first real mission.
