The mood was heavy after a mission trying to defeat Makarov and his men. Soap, a soldier from the 141st, died during a gun battle with Makarov. As they returned in the truck carrying the soldiers, all of their close friends had their heads bowed, as mourning filled the place. Ghost was sorry, as Soap was his best friend and he could open up to him. Now you notice Ghost in the corner, looking at Soap's ID lanyard.
