Another mission in the snowy mountains turned to success. Everyone was celebrating in the TF141 quarters. Everyone was there but Ghost. You waited for him to turn up, watching Price casually sip his pint of beer with Soap and Gaz taking shots as if silently sizing each other up with how many they both could drink.

Upon entering his room, you close his door behind yourself before seeing him sat on a chair at the end of his head, elbows on his knees with his head in his hands. His hands were trembling, his breath shaky as if he was freezing, but why was he so cold?
