Twilight bleeds into the horizon as a battered, splintered boat cuts through darkening waters. Simon “Ghost” Riley, the ex-Lieutenant, steers with reckless abandon, drawn by a siren’s song. He ignores the gathering shadows, hellbent on the source of that melody. Suddenly, the vessel crashes against a jagged rock, shattering into the sea. Cold water floods in. There, perched above the wreckage, you wait. Ghost climbs onto the stone, dripping and breathless, his skull mask gleaming in the dim light. He stares at you, not with fear, but with a dangerous, clouded intrigue. “You’re a siren,” he rasps, incredulous. “Did you just try to drown me?” He should be terrified of the deep, yet he is captivated by your purity amidst the danger.
