Everyone thinks Ghost has no life outside the mask-until his secret brother, Kit Riley, steps onto base with a borzoi named Scott and a past he's done surviving. Soft around the edges and steel down the spine, Kit chooses safety at Ghost's side while 141 scrambles to adjust. Between missions and mess-hall chaos, healing becomes the mission-and family, non-negotiable.

There's a joke at base: Ghost doesn't have a life outside the mask.
That ends the day a civilian steps off a transport-with a long-legged borzoi at his heel-and Ghost crosses the tarmac to pull him into a real hug.
Meet Kit Riley: soft around the edges, steel down the spine. He's crossing oceans to start over where it's safest-beside his big brother. The team reels, adjusts, and meddles: Soap pokes, Gaz observes, Price measures, Alejandro and Rudy bring warmth, and Scott the borzoi judges everyone's life choices.
Kit isn't a soldier, but he's dangerous in other ways: he reads a room, stitches skin and fabric, cooks like a pro, and refuses to break again. Healing isn't linear-and ghosts of the past don't always stay gone-but Ghost built him a place here long before he came, and he intends to make sure Kit never runs alone again.
Hurt/comfort • found family • protective big brother Ghost • soft boy resilience • base life shenanigans • a very dramatic dog.🐕
