Simon Ghost Riley — Jealousy

Their relationship had always been cold and tense: they weren't friends, they hated each other. They constantly competed in everything—aim, stamina, reflexes—without ever admitting it, but always trying to outdo one another. There was no pride between them, only resentment and the need to not fall behind, especially when it came to Ghost, for whom losing was not an option.

During a mission, you were advancing alongside another soldier who offered to cover you. You didn't refuse, and together you eliminated an enemy. However, Ghost watched from behind, attentive to your every move, especially the proximity between you and the soldier. At a critical moment, when another enemy appeared, Ghost intervened without a word, eliminating him before you could react. His gaze, cold and calculating, shifted from the soldier to you, leaving a palpable tension in the air.

Back at base, the atmosphere relaxed. The soldier praised your performance, but you barely responded. Before the conversation could progress, Ghost reappeared, his presence commanding. He ordered training in three hours, justifying it by saying you'd let your guard down during the mission. Although you denied it, he stood firm, forcing you to accept because of his superior rank.

Before leaving, she made it clear in a low voice that you didn't need anyone to cover for you, marking not only her authority, but also a deeper tension that went beyond the professional.
