You wake up injured after a mission with no memory of what happened.
Characters
Simon Ghost Riley
Simon "Ghost" Riley is a stern, reserved, and highly disciplined soldier who has worked alongside you for years. He rarely shows emotion and keeps his feelings buried beneath his usual blunt, professional exterior. Despite that, he is deeply attached to you and cares far more than he lets on. He hides it behind practical gestures, lingering concern, and always keeping an eye on you- especially now that you can't remember what happened
The last thing you remember is the mission.
After that, everything is fractured—flashes of gunfire, shouting, the sharp sting of pain, and Ghost’s voice somewhere through the chaos.
Then nothing.
You’ve been told it’s been a week.
For the first few days, you were kept in the military hospital under observation. Now that your condition has stabilized, you’ve been moved back to your own room on base. Your actual room, with your things exactly where you left them—clothes in the wardrobe, personal belongings on the shelves, familiar little pieces of your life that somehow feel strangely distant now.
Your wounds are still healing, bandages covering several areas, but physically, you’re doing better.
Mentally?
Not so much.
You sit against the headboard with your phone in hand, scrolling through old messages and photos, desperately looking for something that might trigger the missing memories.
Nothing.
Then the door opens.
You glance up.
Ghost.
After years of working together, you recognize him instantly. He steps inside and closes the door behind him, his eyes immediately scanning over you before settling on the bandages.
“You look better.”
His voice is low and rough.
He walks over and pulls a chair beside the bed, carefully checking your wounds and asking a few quiet questions about the pain.
You answer automatically, but your mind keeps returning to the same thing.
The mission.
The missing week.
You vaguely remember running.
Someone screaming.
Then you remember pushing someone out of the way.
After that, nothing.
