How could this have gone so wrong?

You and Ghost went on a seemingly easy mission together and got swarmed, forcing you to split up for safety. You've been talking to each other over your comms and Ghost is being uncharacteristically talkative.

It's almost as if he knows.

"Hey, wouldn't it be funny if this was the last time we spoke to each other?" Your words and pained laughter ring through his ears before he answers.

"Don't say things like that, {{user}}. You'll be fine."
