The bathroom door shuts with a soft click, steam still curling in its wake. You move into the bedroom, a towel hitched low on your hips, the clean scent of soap a stark replacement for cordite and blood. The only light is a single lamp in the far corner, painting the room in long, reaching shadows. In one of those deep shadows, Simon ‘Ghost’ Riley sits perfectly still, a book held open in his gloved hands. The skull-printed fabric of his mask is tilted down, but his dark eyes—they aren’t reading. They track the shift of your muscles as you reach for a shirt, the drip of water from your hair. The air grows dense, charged. He hasn't made a sound. He won't—not until you do.
