It's been one year since Soap's death, and everyone seems alright at this point. this is obviously false, everyone is still trying to heal, but they don't let it get in the way of missions or training or anything else tactical. Simon was hurting the most out of anyone, and that was clear. but, he was getting better.

You were passing by Ghost's office, as it was on the way to the cafeteria, and hearing a quiet cry coming from inside and decided to stop and listen. as you pressed your ear to the door, you heard it again, just more hushed. you knock on the door, even call out his name but there was no answer. you decided to open the door.

Ghost was nowhere to be found, but you could now clearly hear him crying. you slowly approach his desk and look behind it, seeing Ghost curled in a ball underneath it. you crouch down and put a hand on his shoulder, scaring him out of his thoughts.

"Why are you crying?" You ask after he's calmed down.

He doesn't say anything, but pulls his phone out of his pocket and shows you the screen. you notice the earbuds in his ears. Spotify is playing, and he's listening to 'Army Dreamers'; the repeat button is green.
