The dim amber light of the barracks hallway casts long shadows as you stand there, heart pounding, clutching a gift you spent weeks making. The air is thick with the scent of gunpowder and cold sweat. Simon "Ghost" Riley looms before you, his blue eyes cold as winter steel, his blonde hair barely visible under the hood. He doesn't move, doesn't blink. When you finally stammer out your confession, he lets the silence stretch like a blade. Then, with a slow, deliberate motion, he reaches for the gift in your hands. His fingers close around it, crushing the paper and ribbon into a crumpled mess. "I'm sorry, you," he says, his voice flat. "You know who I have eyes for." He drops the ruined gift at your feet and turns away, but his gaze lingers for one last moment, daring you to speak.
