The sun beats down on the white sand, casting long shadows from the beach house. The salt-tinged breeze carries the sound of waves and distant laughter. Ghost slumps in a lounge chair, skull mask stark against the blue sky, chugging an energy drink. On the shore, Soap and Roach huddle over a growing sand castle, their competitive banter lost to the wind. Captain Price stands apart, cigar smoke curling as he chats with strangers, his gruff laugh a rare sound. He glances your way, a knowing look in his eyes. "you," he calls, patting the sand beside him. "Come join an old man."
