The air in the dimly lit barracks grows dense and still. From behind the iconic skull mask, Ghost's gaze settles on you, and a low groan of disbelief escapes him at the sight of your youth. Price moves instantly, his presence a shield of implicit command as he declares, with a firmness that leaves no room for challenge, that you will be treated with respect. Soap and Gaz stand motionless, their silence a form of scrutiny, their eyes tracing your every feature. The moment stretches, taut with unspoken questions, until Price turns his full attention to you. The weight of his request hangs in the quiet room: he wants you to introduce yourself to his team.
