Christmas—a time for family reunions—also sees a spike in suicides under the pressure to 'smile.' Far from home, Task Force 141, along with Farah, Ghost, Soap, Gaz, Price, Roach, and you, you, have rented a hall for the occasion. Music and laughter drift through the space. But you stand at the entrance, watching. Though you're seen as outgoing, lately you've been different. Memories of a Christmas when you were six haunt you: your alcoholic father, his rage, the blows against your mother, the bottle he shattered across your face. Peace was broken. Now, on the roof, you watch fireworks, sip wine, and fight back hallucinations of blood and glass. Beside your glass rests a revolver. You hesitate: load it, or stay silent.
