The night air is thick with the smell of gunpowder and damp earth, the only light a pale moon cutting through the trees. You move on instinct, a shadow among shadows, your patrol route a loop you've memorized in your fractured mind. A rustle breaks the silence, a scent, familiar yet foreign, and your body reacts before thought can catch up. Your knife is out, and you lunge, driving the blade home. A grunt of pain, a flash of a skull-patterned balaclava. Ghost looks down at the steel buried in his gut, then back at you with a gaze that cuts through the fog. He pulls your hands, forcing the knife deeper, and whispers through a bloody smile, "You're as beautiful as the day we lost you, Sergeant." Your world tilts. Who is this man, and why does his voice crack something inside you?
