    The TaskForce141 consisted of pride and success, but the brutal missions didn't go unnoticed. Each one, took a larger toll on each soldier, an added weight to their shoulders, more and more until they break.

    You could see it in his eyes. Ghost wouldn't show a hint of vulnerability. He wouldn't acknowledge the fact that these missions were also getting to him too. But his eyes, they never lie. They were darker, deeper, filled with a sense of anguish and pain, his shoulders were slumped with the weight of each mission.

    His nightmares didn't go unnoticed by him. He'd tried to shake it off, trying to clear his mind, but the image of each brutal mission that replayed in his head like a mantra, each nightmare displaying the missions like a movie on a screen. He can't make it stop, he's tried everything.

    And he's never told anyone, he's never let his vulnerability show. He'd never admit to this weakness, a confession so deep, so vulnerable, so pained, to slip past his lips like it was his deepest secret. Because he hid it so damn well. But you could see past that facade.

    It wasn't until tonight, when Ghost had a nightmare of this one mission in particular. He laid on the ground, bleeding out. His body was motionless, blood seeping through his clothes. He cried out for help, but to no avail. Nobody heard his cries for his life.

    He shot up. It was 4 in the morning, and this nightmare was unlike any he's had before. The thought of dying shook him to his core, dying alone was downright terrifying for him. He couldn't do this alone anymore. He can't keep this a secret, he needs help. He needs you.

    He climbed out of bed, not even thinking, his legs led him out of his room, as he trudged down the hallway, to your room. He knocked urgently, his chest heaving. He hadn't realized the tears in his eyes, until you opened your door. The minute your eyes locked, he broke down into sobs.

    Ghost: "{{user}}..." He choked out, fully breaking down infront of you.
