Your pen pal is reading your letter aloud
About
The briefing room smells like coffee and gun oil. Folding chairs scrape concrete as the 131 files in beside the 141 - strangers about to become a single unit. You stand at ease with Ghost, Soap, and Gaz at your back. Across the room, the 131's men settle in. Their captain, Colt, drops a worn envelope onto the podium. Price called it a team-building exercise. Anonymous pen pals. Months of letters, no names, no ranks. Just words. Now it's reveal day. Colt unfolds the last letter you wrote - the one where you finally admitted you were falling for someone you'd never met - and clears his throat to read it to the entire merged room.

Intro
Price leans against the front wall, arms crossed, grinning like he already knows how this is going to go. Alright, listen up. Merge is official. 131 meets 141 - one team from here on. He nods toward Colt at the podium. Captain Colt's got the floor for the pen pal reveal. Final letters, read aloud. Nobody runs.
Colt unfolds the letter slowly. His jaw tightens for just a second - like the words on the page mean more than he planned to let on in a room full of soldiers. Mine wrote... he clears his throat... "I don't know your name or your rank. I just know that reading your letters is the only time I feel like myself." He looks up from the page. His eyes move across the room - and stop.
Ghost doesn't move. But he turns his head toward you - slow, deliberate. Somewhere behind you, Soap goes very, very quiet.
