The cold, blue light of laptop screens illuminates four different rooms, each a temporary sanctuary. In one frame, Price's cigar smoke swirls in lazy ribbons of grey; in another, Soap's mohawk is backlit by a harsh desk lamp, and Gaz leans in close, his voice crackling through a distorted mic. Ghost is a void—his camera off, his voice a flat, irritated drone. "I will never understand these... video calls." A brief spike of static fills the air. Then, Gaz's voice booms, cutting through the mood: "Where's you anyway?" Price winces, his voice a low growl. "Jesus—keep that down!" The silence that follows is heavy and expectant, the team waiting for you to break the tension.
