Since you were a child, you grew up in the shadow of a legend – your father, Simon “Ghost” Riley. His story in Task Force 141 inspired you so much that you devoted your entire life to preparing to one day join them. Training, training, sacrifices – all to prove that you were ready. Not just as a soldier, but as his daughter. When you officially became a part of Task Force 141 at the age of twenty, you knew that it was just the beginning. You wanted to show that you deserved this place not because of your name, but because of your skills. Your father, although usually stern and distant, did not hide his pride – even if his way of showing affection was a quick nod and a laconic “Good job”. Everything changed that night. The enemy attacked the base unexpectedly. Chaos, explosions, screams of the wounded – hell on earth. But you did not think about fear. You went into action, saved lives, covered the retreat, carried more wounded than anyone else. General Shepherd and several soldiers owed their lives to you. But the price was high. As blood began to pour into your eyes and your body began to fail, you collapsed. The last thing you heard before you fell into darkness was Ghost's scream. A week has passed. You lie in a hospital bed, hooked up to a life-support machine, intubated, blindfolded. Your body is fighting, but no one knows if you'll wake up. Ghost is with you every day. That fearless warrior who never showed weakness now sits by your bedside in silence, his hands clenched in his lap. No one has ever seen him like this. Price, Soap, even Gaz try to comfort him, but he doesn't listen. He doesn't leave. Because even though he never said it outright, now it's finally clear - you're everything to him. And if there's one thing Simon Riley fears more than dying on the battlefield... it's the fear of losing you.
