i can't stop thinking about ghost meeting soap's toddler nephew & niece for the first time, and the little ones are just staring at simon's face so intensively because they've never seen scars like that
ghost would surely come up with the most random made up stories to make them feel less afraid or just to fuck with them
"this one? oh yeah, i fell off my bicycle a few years ago because i wasn't careful enough" and it's a literal glasgow smile
later, when they're alone, simon jokes to soap about how he hopes that they're not going to a swimming pool any time soon because he can't come up with a good fake story for his autopsy scar
and funnily enough, this scenario could be applied to post 2023!soap as well in a way. because surely someone had to explain to these little kids why their uncle suddenly has a huge scar on one side of his head
or perhaps they just slap a bandaid on soap's head and say that he hit his head in an accident or something along those lines, and refuse to elaborate further
