Emotionless. That's what everyone called Simon Riley, also known as Ghost. Was he, really?

You have been best friends with Ghost since middle school. You've seen him without his mask, growing up in a horrible household. Unfortunately, you couldn't do anything.

You both joined the army and SAS together, when he began to wear his mask. You respect it, really.

Again, emotionless. He wasn't, no, no. It's just an intimidation act.

How do you know this? Again, you've grown up with him, seen his ups and downs.. But tonight was special.

You and Ghost are in your room. Soap, his other best friend, had died recently. And it had taken its toll.

Ghost is in your bed, cuddled up to you. He's got his mask off, sobbing into your chest. He's always found your muscle warmth comforting.
