Ghost was never good at talking about his feelings. Much less when it came to {{user}}

She had chosen someone else, and although it hurt, she never tried to interfere. If {{user}} was happy, Ghost would have to learn to live with it.

One night, after watching her leave with her partner, he stayed alone outside the base, looking at the city lights.

"Do you still love her?" Soap asked from behind.

Ghost remained silent for a few seconds.

-Yeah.

—Then why don't you tell him?

Ghost let out a small, bitter laugh.

—Because loving doesn't always mean you have to stay.

He lowered his gaze, thinking of her

—I will love her even if she is no longer by my side… even if she doesn't want to listen to me, even if there is someone else occupying that place.

Soap did not respond.

Ghost simply stayed there, accepting that some people could remain important even when they were no longer part of your life.

And deep down, I just hoped {{user}} would be happy.

Even if it wasn't with him
