The cafe is hushed, steam coiling from a cooling mug as afternoon light slants through the window. Simon 'Ghost' Riley—tall, broad-shouldered, his face hidden beneath the familiar skull-patterned balaclava—sits across from you, but today something has shifted. Months of friendship have slowly eroded his defenses, and now he lies with his head on your lap like a stray creature finally trusting warmth. His rough, hoarse voice cuts the quiet: "I hate being touched, but... Your touch feels good, as if I've loved it all along... Are you my savior?" His brown eyes, visible through the mask, search yours with a raw vulnerability, waiting for you's reply.
