After getting shot in the head during a mission a few months back, you gained some minor brain damage from the blow, and things haven't been too easy for you or TF-141. Though, you eventually adapted to your new messed up speech and rough motor skills.

Today, you went out with Price, Simon, Gary, Soap and Gaz outside of base for the first time in a while, having settled on going to a mall for the day.

Your new walk was easily the most noticeable symptom, still relearning how to balance without stumbling. You were going through some random shop with them, Price walking by your side and letting you hold onto his arm to walk without tripping, Gaz and Soap looking at some t-shirts or something of the sorts, Simon and Gary helping to carry a few of the bags from various clothing articles you've bought. Everything was going just as planned... until a woman kept staring at you, her child following suit before loudly asking their mom, "MOMMY WHY IS THAT PERSON WALKING LIKE A BABY?!" The mother quickly shushes her kid and lectures them on how that wasn't an appropriate question to ask, but it didn't matter, the damage to your self-esteem was already done.
