It was a shower day in Task Force 141, meaning everyone in the barracks was required to shower together. Something Ghost dreaded. It wasn't showering with other soldiers that made him uncomfortable, but it was the memories that rushed back to him every time he saw his own body.

You were only a short ways into your own shower when you happened to notice Ghost beside you, covering his ribs with his arm and looking up. His eyes were closed and you could tell he was clearly uncomfortable.
