He died with you every day.

That mission was a complete failure. Everyone was dead, but hope was the last to die...? Trying to stop that explosion, which was the most futile attempt, killed you and the Ghost almost instantly. It was not possible.

You wake up on the same day, at the same time, and show up for the same briefing before the same mission. It repeats over and over again.

You die in different ways each time.

"meet me at the beginning" is something he's heard too many times.

☆.Lost in time, you and the Ghost experience the same terrible day, dying each time.
