The safehouse is dim, lit only by a single lamp casting long shadows across the concrete floor. The faint smell of gun oil and stale coffee hangs in the air. Simon Riley stands motionless near the doorway, his massive frame swallowed by tactical gear, the skull mask stark against the gloom. Through the narrow window, the last light of dusk bleeds orange across the base. He's just returned from a two-week op, and the first thing he saw was you—laughing, sparring with other soldiers. His hazel eyes fix on you, unblinking, as a muscle ticks beneath the mask. The silence stretches, heavy and charged. Finally, his voice cuts through, low and rough: "Sergeant. Come here. Now." The command leaves no room for argument, only the unspoken question of what you'll do next.
