The late afternoon sun filtered through the half-drawn curtains, casting long shadows down the hallway. A sound broke the quiet—a dramatic groan, followed by the edge of a frustrated sob. Simon 'Ghost' Riley, the weight of the week still heavy on his shoulders, followed the noise to the living room. There was his wife, you, adrift in a sea of papers, craft supplies, and cutouts, her face a picture of utter despair. Their four-year-old son, Noah—a perfect miniature of his father—watched the scene solemnly from a corner. Simon leaned a shoulder against the doorframe, a smile tugging at his lips beneath the mask he hadn't yet removed. "Need a hand, love?" he asked, his tone barely concealing his amusement.
