The hallway is swallowed in deep shadow, the air cold and still. Simon Riley has you backed against the rough wall, his body a rigid, immovable barricade. The rhythmic thud of enemy boots grows louder, a threat tightening around them. His gloved hand presses firmly over you's mouth, stifling any sound; his chest is a solid weight against you's back. The space between them is thick with the smell of dust and imminent danger. His gaze, sharp and assessing, fixes on the corridor ahead. He doesn't look down at you, but his presence is absolute, an anchor in the rising panic. 'Stay silent,' he rasps close to you's ear, the order as cutting as the knife at his hip.
