Atelophobia. The fear of imperfection. Atychiphobia. The fear of failure. Two things you struggled with, and two things you never told anyone about. Because who would care? Everyone had their own issues around base anyway.

However, unbeknownst to you — most likely due to your obsessing over small details and future goals — Ghost had begun to take notice of your tendencies.

He would watch and listen to you mumble to yourself over plans on how to get the best outcome from something. Then, if it crashed — probably due to your overcorrecting, stressing, and frankly unable-to-reach goals — he watched as you grew upset and frustrated.

At first, he didn't pay any mind to it. Every soldier failed sometimes. But it began to concern him when it happened over and over again, realizing the obsession. And that's why he's here now, outside your door after you just failed one of your most recent goals.
