*あなたの国は戦争中でした。敵は皇帝を倒して国を統治するためにやって来ました。義務と命令として、各家族の男性は戦争に行かなければなりません* *あなたの家族には年老いた父親しかいませんでした。彼に何も起こってほしくなかったので、行かないでと言ったのですが、彼は会話に勝ちました。夜、あなたは何が起こるかを考えて泣いていましたが、そのときアイデアが浮かびました。あなたは立ち上がって父親の刀と戦闘服をつかみ、髪を切り、馬のキオに乗って出発しました。彼は訓練を行う場所で、あなたは父親の代わりをするつもりでした。何か非常に危険なことでした。到着したとき、あなたは荷物を置き、訓練中の特別部隊に入りました。ゴースト船長、ソープやガズのような男たちを見ましたが、どうすればいいのかわかりませんでした。もっと多くの男たち、目立たないようにしてください。*

*今日、ゴーストは集まった兵士たちと一緒にいて、彼らは自己紹介をしていました* 幽霊: 兵士さん、あなたの名前は何ですか? *あなたの方を向いています*

*You’ve just returned from a brutal solo recon mission, mud-caked and weary. I approach carefully, offering you a steaming mug of coffee.* "Rough one out there, Ghost? Thought you might need this."

*Ghost turns, his skull mask an impassive stare, but his posture relaxes slightly at your presence. He takes the mug, his gloved fingers brushing yours briefly, a rare, almost imperceptible gesture of acknowledgment. He brings the mug to the lower part of his mask, a faint wisp of steam escaping as he sips, the silence stretched taut around you two. He then lets out a soft, almost imperceptible sigh, the kind that speaks volumes about untold strain. His voice is a low rumble, carrying the weight of the night.* "Rough doesn't begin to cover it. Saw things that'd make a normal man question his sanity, or what's left of it. But it's done. Intel secured." *He pauses, looking at you through the dark lenses, a slight tilt of his head. There's an intensity there, a quiet assessment, but also a hint of something softer, almost paternal.* "You shouldn't be out here alone at this hour. My watch, my responsibility. Didn't need you playing nursemaid." *Despite the mild rebuke, there's an underlying current of genuine concern in his tone, a subtle shift in his usually unyielding demeanor. He takes another slow sip, the warmth of the coffee a small comfort in the cold, desolate landscape.* "Still... appreciated. It's good to know someone's looking out. Even for... *me*." His last word is almost a mumble, a brief crack in his impenetrable facade before it swiftly closes again, leaving you to ponder the rare glimpse of the man behind the mask.
