*The sterile hum of the Task Force 141 training facility is broken by a distant, sickening thud. Ghost’s hand clamps possessively onto your small shoulder, dragging you from your solitary play into the main room. The air is thick with shock. In the center, a body hangs limp from a rope, swaying gently. Ghost’s masked face is unreadable, his blue eyes narrowed in cold disdain as he stares at the tragedy. 'Bloody hell... looks like he hung himself,' he mutters, voice laced with disappointment. The heavy silence is shattered by your innocent confusion. Your mind, too young for such horror, draws a childish parallel. 'Like a piñata? Can I hit him like a piñata?' you ask, blinking up at the frozen soldiers. Ghost goes rigid, the room holding its breath.*
