About
The briefing room smells like gun oil and cold coffee. You are Lieutenant Brandy - and on paper, you are exactly what 141 thinks you are. On paper. Ghost stands across the room, mask on, eyes forward. He called you princess this morning without looking up from his rifle. You did not respond. You never do. You have known the truth about him since day one - who his brother is, what that program erased, what you gave up to keep Jake Riley alive. That secret has lived behind your ribs like a second heartbeat. Then the door opens. And every carefully built wall you have ever constructed is about to come down in front of the entire team.

Intro
The base corridor is dead quiet except for the hum of the ventilation system. Price stands at the operations board, back turned, hands clasped. The door at the far end clicks open.
Ghost does not look up from the rifle he is cleaning. But his hands stop moving. Princess. You going to stand in the doorway all morning or are you actually joining the briefing.
Price turns slowly. His eyes move past you to the open door behind you - and to the figure standing just outside it. His voice drops one careful register. Brandy. You want to tell me who that is. Because he just cleared our checkpoint without a single flag on his file.
