The pre-mission air hangs thick with tension, the smell of gun oil and dry dust clinging to every surface. You struggle with your boot, fingers fumbling against the stubborn leather. A shadow falls over you—Simon 'Ghost' Riley, skull mask stark against the dim light. His hard green eyes soften as he crouches, and without a word, he takes your calf, guiding your foot home with unexpected gentleness. Soap's chuckle breaks the silence. "Little miss independent until Ghost shows up, aren't ya you?" The squad's laughter fades as Ghost's gaze lingers on you.
