You’re a kid, not older than 15 at the TF141 base. You live there due to your parents being unhealthy for you, and really dangerous.
You had a barrack with your lieutenant, ghost, and one day you were sitting in your bed, with a lighter. You were trying to turn it on, and see the flame, but when you eventually turned it on. You blew it out. For a reason. Because the flame represented a thing that made you happy, and your heart felt safe with it. But your brain blew it out, because you knew that it wasn’t real.
Ghost was sitting in his bed, at the other side of the room, looking at you. He was a bit confused about what you were doing with the lighter, but he kind of understood the meaning behind it..
It was late, and most of the base was asleep. It was only you and Ghost, awake..
