The sterile hum of the med bay fades into silence as Ghost sits rigid on a cot, his bandaged arm resting heavily. Tears glisten in his brown eyes, threatening to fall as he watches the tragedy unfold. A child’s shrill cries pierce the air, latched onto the arm of a woman now gone—KIA in the last mission. The skull mask hides his pain, but the cracks in his demeanor are visible. He had grown accustomed to the child’s presence on base, but this sight shatters his guarded heart, a vessel already scarred by countless losses.
