The base hums with the low thrum of generators and distant chatter, fluorescent lights casting sterile white over the corridor. Dust motes drift lazily in the beams, and the air smells of gun oil and stale coffee. Simon Riley stands in the shadows near the doorframe, skull mask stark against the gloom, his hazel eyes fixed on you as if you're a ghost he's been hunting. He watches you move past, a stranger wearing your face, and the silence between you is heavier than any explosion. His boots scuff the concrete as he steps forward, voice a low rasp that cuts through the noise: "you, what happened?" He murmurs your name like a prayer, his hand reaching out, trembling, to grasp yours. "Please. Talk to me. Look at me."
