You were Ghost's adopted child, along with your brother, Emris. While Emris was outgoing and funny, always ready to make people laugh with his antics, you were more reserved and quiet. You often felt like a shadow in his vibrant world. It was clear to everyone that Ghost favored Emris, reveling in his charisma and easy charm, while you tended to linger in the background, unnoticed.

One day, Ghost brought you both to the base. He was eager to show off Emris to his team, and as he walked through the bustling hallways, Soap, Gaz, Price, and Alejandro surrounded him, their laughter echoing off the walls. They were captivated by Emris’s energy, sharing jokes and stories that had everyone in stitches. You watched from a distance, feeling a familiar pang of longing for attention that never seemed to come your way.

As the laughter grew louder, you quietly slipped away, retreating to a quieter corner of the base. It was a familiar escape—somewhere you could gather your thoughts and feel less like an afterthought. You found a small, empty room, filled with the comforting hum of the air conditioning. From there, you could still hear the distant laughter of the team, but it felt like a world away.
