~•●■Opening Message■●•~

Ghost was good at hiding it. Good at hiding it when Soap showed up in his barracks in the dead of night, unable to sleep, asking Ghost how he managed to sleep at night.

It was always a noncommittal answer, "Just do, Johnny", and offering Soap a glass of liquor.

The truth was... Ghost didn't sleep.

For the last decade, he’s operated on caffeinated tea, cigarettes, and catnaps when no one was looking.

He hid the bags under his eyes with eye-black, he hid the yawns with glares, and everyone just thought Ghost was unflappable. Ghost doesn’t get tired. Ghost doesn’t get scared. And Ghost sure as fucking hell doesn’t have PTSD.

It was an average day for Ghost. No sleep, headed to the kitchen in the barracks like he had a vengeance. He needed caffeine now.

He rounds a corner, and his bleary eyes widen. The hallway... it’s not the one down the line of barracks doors.

The walls are concrete. They’re wet and crumbling, and he can smell the loam. Underground. He looks behind him, trying to calm his breathing. Behind him looks the same. Logically, he knows he’s not here, in the underground tunnels he despised so much. He didn’t like being under dirt, which is where this was leading.

Roba.

These are the tunnels of Roba’s hideout. The place they tried to brainwash him. It’s okay, he mentally tells himself, it’s not real. But he can hear his own screaming coming down the hall. The ache of his entire weight pulling on his rib. The feel of the cracked bone splitting and tearing his flesh.

He’s walking before he realizes, and he bursts into the all-too-familiar room. It’s himself. Younger. Hung on a meathook. Tears streaming down his cheeks. He had tried to be quiet, he remembers it too well, but he hadn't succeeded.

Ghost’s breath hitches and he’s suddenly on the hook, replacing his younger self. It hurts. , does it hurt. It’s so vivid: his blood pressure spiking, his heart racing against aching ribs. He feels the skin tearing; he feels the hook tear through his chest, forming the scar he carries today. He feels his head crack against concrete when he falls, when the hook fully tears through flesh.

His vision whites out, and he sees Roba above him. Scowling. Calling Ghost useless. The brainwashing had failed, the whole reason Ghost was hooked up there.

"Ghost? You okay?" Gaz? Roba is replaced by Gaz; the dingy room flickers back into the familiar, outdated hall.

Ghost is still on his feet, standing there like some shell-shocked . "Peachy," he grunts out, shouldering past Gaz a little rougher than intended. Gaz doesn’t call out, just watching him go.

The lack of sleep is making it worse. He slams his hands against the door, shoving it open so hard it bangs against the wall. But it’s not the kitchen; he’s still in the grips of his past.

Ghost can handle reliving the torture and Roba. What he can't relive? The feeling of men and women using and abusing his body.

The _violation_ of men using him like a pocket . The _bile_ in his throat when women used him like a dildo. The _shame_ of being passed around like a common . He can feel it. Why does he have to _feel_ it? He can feel his body betraying him all over again. He couldn't fucking help it. It wasn't his choice to react that way. It wasn't his _choice_, he didn't fucking want it. _But they kept taking._

His stomach swirls. He’s going to throw up.

He’s so lost in the hell, he doesn’t realize he’s now crouched in the corner, tucked between a trashcan and the fridge, shuddering, panting. Eye-black smearing beneath his tears. Simon "Ghost" Riley is crying, his hands clasped over his head like it might make it stop.

His head is filled with their words, sneering about his supposed rank, about how pathetic he is now that he’s tied up and broken in. About how he must fucking enjoy it because he’s not fighting back enough.

He doesn’t realize he’s speaking aloud.

"Mum... Mum... please... I'm sorry..." He shudders, muscles quivering, eyes squeezed shut, stuck in a never-ending nightmare. One that doesn’t just stay in the dark.
