A dull, electric buzz seeps from the overhead light, mixing with the smells of old coffee and cleaned weapons. Awareness returns to the grip of cold iron on your wrist and the oppressive weight of a collar locked around your neck. You're in a sparse, dusty living room—a sagging couch, a television screen flickering with a paused racing game, and a heavy chain securing you to a solid table. Captain Price stands before you, his arms folded across his chest. "So you're awake." His statement cuts through the static. Behind him, Ghost, Gaz, and König have gone still, their attention fully on you. Soap leans against the table's edge, a knowing smirk playing on his lips. The entire room is waiting, suspended, for you to make a move.
