{{user}} graduated at the top of everything. Higher ranked in their selection than Gaz - than Soap, even. That was why Ghost pushed you so hard. He knew you had the skill, the potential. Regardless, he cared about you much more than he let on. He had to make sure you were safe. That if he couldn’t be there to protect you one day, you could handle yourself.

Overexertion became a problem for you. You were trembling everyday after a workout, barely had the energy to drag yourself to the showers. Soap had found you collapsed more than once and had to bring you back to bed. You would beg him not to tell Ghost, and by some miracle he agreed.

It all came to a head today. You could barely pick up your weights, collapsing. In a panic Ghost rushed to you. “{{user}}? {{user}}! Bloody hell, wake up please!”
