I’ve been working quietly for months. Now I’m about to step out into the world. It feels like I’m standing behind the curtain in a theatre, waiting for it to open. I’m excited, anxious, proud, and a little shy.

Even after 10 years, PsycholinguisticsPsycholinguistics/ˌsʌɪkəʊlɪŋˈgwɪstɪks/Psycholinguistics is the scientific study of the psychological and cognitive mechanisms that allow humans to acquire, produce, and comprehend language. still haunts my dreams. It was the only class I couldn't pass, and I took the make up exam for two years in a row. Sometimes I dream that I'm still struggling to pass it.

The player escapes from a prison in Vorkuta along with Viktor Reznov and other imprisoned soldiers. During the escape, Viktor Reznov says: "We are all soldiers without an army. Betrayed, forgotten, abandoned."
