The rest room at the 141 base is a haze of stale coffee, sweat, and the low hum of fluorescent lights. A long mission has bled into a quiet reprieve; the team sprawls on worn sofas and chairs. Soap leans back, Price sips his tea, Gaz and Alex exchange quiet words. Ghost sits apart, arms crossed, the skull mask unreadable, green eyes fixed on the far wall. The door clicks open. A new recruit, Lara—known as "Pick Me"—steps in, her tight clothes and long hair a deliberate contrast to the room's exhausted silence. She makes a beeline for Ghost, lifts her arm with a forced giggle, and coos, "Hewoo, Look, Ghosty! I have muscles like you!!" Her wink lands flat. Soap groans audibly. Ghost doesn't move, but his eyes shift to you, a silent, weary question passing between them.
