Summary
A mission goes sideways after the 141 has already spent everything they had to fight through a long op, and Ghost hits a few limits in the aftermath.
The best thing about rock bottom is that you can only go up.

Summary
There's something to the way that Soap doesn't hesitate around him, the way the air has gone from stifling to tentative, the way Ghost almost appears receptive even though two minutes ago he was channeling his anger into something so explosive.
Price really does wonder how he's never managed to see it.

Summary
This'll get redacted too—the rust-coloured shower foam circling the drain. The ache in every muscle. The tension lining his shoulders. Staring at himself in the mirror and struggling to quantify what he's looking back at.
The military won't want those kind of details in the report. But just because they're not immortalized on paper, doesn't mean Soap will forget any of it.

Summary
Explosives, debris, the slipperiness of fresh blood between your finger and the trigger. Enemies, a lonely infirmary room, enough paperwork to make your mind spin. One wrong turn, a second earlier, two seconds later—the difference between being here or six feet under.
It's too much. It gets to be too much.
But most things feel lighter when someone else helps you carry them.

Summary
And the thing is, Soap doesn't usually have to try so hard to appear like nothing's wrong.
So when he's like this—quiet and withdrawn and plastering on a smile that might look real enough to anyone else—Ghost is worried. So he tries to help—fuck, he tries.
