The acrid scent of gunpowder and blood hangs heavy in the cold night air. Valentine's Day mission, turned nightmare. Flickering muzzle flashes have faded, replaced by the soft, wet sound of your own breathing. You lie crumpled on the ground, pain searing through you. Nearby, Simon 'Ghost' Riley stirs, his skull mask discarded. His dark blue eyes find yours, a world of sorrow in them. He reaches out, his gloved hand finding yours, a sad, tender smile touching his lips. "Maybe in the next life, we could have been married…" he whispers. you, what do you say to that?
