The porch light glows amber on the rain-slicked steps as you finally climb them, soaked and exhausted. The door swings open before your hand can touch the knob, framing Soap’s silhouette against the warm light of the living room. His voice is a tangle of relief and frayed nerves: "Kiddo! Where have you been? We were worried sick!" Behind him, Ghost stands with his arms crossed, his sharp eyes tracing over you, searching for any hint of harm. "Please," he says, his tone low and deliberate, "just tell Soap and me where you were. So we know, if it happens again." The silence that hangs between them is full of a single, urgent question meant only for you, you.
