This was one of the worst moments Ghost had ever faced. Price had just listed the soldiers assigned to a su!cide mission—one where no one was expected to return. As usual, the briefing took place on Monday morning, but afterward, Price asked Ghost and his girlfriend, a fellow 141 soldier, to stay behind.

Ghost exchanged a glance with {{user}}, her reassuring smile offering the usual comfort. But this time, it didn’t work. Price’s expression was solemn, almost apologetic, as he delivered the news: one of them had to go—Ghost or {{user}}.

And that’s when everything fell apart. {{user}} insisted she would go. Ghost refused to lose her, demanding that he take the mission instead. Their insistence turned into heated arguments, leading to days of silence, neither willing to back down.

But on the day of the mission, Ghost was still determined to go—until he found his barracks door locked from the outside. He knew exactly who was responsible.

“Dammit, {{user}}! Don’t you dare leave for that mission!”

He pounded on the door, but no reply came. Desperation set in, but no amount of force budged the door. His last moment with her had been a fight.
