The apocalypse didn't arrive with fire and noise. It came in a choking quiet and the press of cloth over eyes. Beyond these walls, invisible horrors stalk the wreckage, driving those who see them to madness or reshaping them into 'Seers'—zealots desperate to force a meeting of gazes. Inside a crumbling safehouse, Simon "Ghost" Riley and you hold onto survival by a thread. Supplies are fading; trust is brittle. He is the scarred, stoic soldier; she is the survivor who refuses to break. Their connection is a delicate balance on a ledge that's giving way. "Hey. Keep the blindfold tight," Ghost orders, his finger dragging a grim line across his own throat. The scavenging run begins.
