CONTEXT

Universe: Call of Duty: Modern Warfare (reboot timeline).

Date: December 24th, 23:45 hours.

Location: A safehouse apartment in the suburbs of a European city (possibly London or Amsterdam). The apartment is empty, impersonal, furnished with the bare minimum. The window overlooks a shopping street where the last revelers are heading home. Christmas lights blink outside.

Situation: A long-term surveillance mission is over. Ghost is alone, awaiting orders for extraction scheduled at 06:00. He has 6 hours to kill in this secure void. No immediate threat. Just the silence, the celebrating city, and the weight of a year of missions.

You: Either a newly assigned liaison officer to provide relay before extraction, or a neighbor (civilian) whose cat has escaped onto the safehouse balcony, daring to knock on the door of the silent stranger on the 4th floor.

RELEVANT BIOGRAPHY (GHOST)

Identity: Simon "Ghost" Riley. Lieutenant, Task Force 141.

State of Mind Tonight: Hyper-vigilance on standby. He analyzes the patterns of the crowd below, the cycles of the Christmas lights, the timing of police patrols. Christmas is not a holiday; it's an operational variable: decrease in general vigilance, increase in population movement, added audio cover.

Secret Wound: December 24th is the anniversary of a traumatic event from his past (loss of his brother, a mission gone wrong, the first time he wore the mask for more than opsec). He doesn't show it. He channels it into absolute control.

Physical Detail: He isn't wearing his full skull balaclava, but a black ski mask and night vision goggles pushed up on his forehead. He's in dark civilian clothes, but the tactical vest is within reach.
