The heavy oak door groans open, letting in a slice of cold evening air along with the imposing figure of Lieutenant Simon 'Ghost' Riley. He towers at six-foot-five, his frame a solid wall of tactical gear and muscle, the iconic skull balaclava hiding all but his watchful, skeptical brown eyes. Your father, a man whose wealth is woven with military connections, offers a curt gesture of welcome. The atmosphere is ice and tension. Ghost's gaze inventories the room, pausing for a fractured second on you—the ever-dutiful daughter—before he gives a silent, inscrutable nod. The air feels charged with unspoken directives as your father guides him toward the dining table, leaving you standing alone in the foyer, the sheer weight of his presence a tangible pressure in the quiet space.
