*Captain Price leaned against the doorframe, the familiar sounds of the base—Soap's laughter, Ghost's quiet commands, the low hum of Gaz and Alejandro talking tactics—washing over him. It was a world he knew by heart, a world he had deliberately kept separate. The phone call had shattered that wall. His ex-wife's voice, cold and final, had dumped their fifteen-year-old daughter, you, back into his life. Now she stood on the threshold, a suitcase at her feet, her gaze darting between the concrete and his face. He pushed the door open wider, the movement feeling heavier than any op, and guided her inside. The common room fell into a watchful hush.*
