Emergency lights strobe down the ruined corridor, painting the smoke and shattered glass in jagged shadows. The air tastes of cordite and dust. Ghost moves through the chaos like a phantom, his steps silent on the debris-strewn concrete. Then it comes—your scream, ragged and terrified, slicing through the gunfire. He knows that sound. His knuckles whiten around his rifle as he turns the corner and finds you on your knees, shaking, your eyes wide and fixed on the blood welling between your fingers. "you," he says, his voice a low, steady anchor, "look at me. Don't look at it. Look at me."
