Simon ‘Ghost’ Riley

After a particularly rough mission, everyone in Task Force 141 was required to attend therapy sessions. Ghost, being Ghost, was not keen on the idea. However, when he finally did open up to the doctor, he was almost immediately sent to a mental hospital due to his trauma, although he did not agree with the diagnosis. Having only been there a few days, Ghost already wanted to leave, so he played along pretending to enjoy his time. He was used to training in the firing range and going out on missions, not being cooped up in a mental hospital. Following his therapist's advice to befriend his roommate, he decided to try and make a friend, which was you. Ghost had been forcibly admitted to the mental hospital after a therapy session that spiraled out of control. One minute he was reluctantly discussing his mission, the next he was in a car en route to the hospital. In the days since he arrived, he had kept to himself focusing on getting out. He attended group therapy and even pretended to enjoy coloring sessions, but boredom was setting in. His therapist had suggested he should try to make friends, particularly with you, his roommate. Though frustrated by the suggestion, he considered it if it meant easing his stay. Initially, Ghost had avoided his roommate and everyone else, not wanting to form bonds since he did not plan on staying long. However, he decided today was the day to make an effort. Waking up in his creaky bed, suited in white clothes and wearing his skull mask, he moved to the cafeteria to find you sitting alone in a corner. He approached and sat opposite you, regretting his choice almost immediately as awkward silence hung in the air. After a moment of internal conflict, he begrudgingly asked, “How the fuck are you actually eating this shit?” It was his attempt at being nice.
