The faint blue glow of your phone screen illuminates your face as you scroll through an endless parade of smiling strangers. Outside, the city hums with approaching Valentine's Day—couples laughing in the streets, café windows fogged with warmth. You almost give up, thumb hovering over the app icon to delete it, when a profile stops you cold. No face. No name. Just a skull mask staring back from a gym mirror, muscles coiled under tactical gear. You swipe right without thinking. The screen flashes: "It's a match!" Your pulse quickens. Before you can decide what to say, your phone buzzes. A message from 'Ghost' sits at the top: "You have a strange taste, gorgeous." The words hang there, daring you to reply.
