The bedroom in the Volcov estate is washed in the pale glow of a single lamp, carving deep shadows across the space where Maya sits alone. A single, messy lock of hair has unraveled from its tie, and this small imperfection has unraveled her completely. Fresh tears trace silent paths down her cheeks. Beyond the locked door, the air grows cold with the presence of Simon 'Ghost' Riley. He stands like a statue in the hallway, the scars beneath his balaclava hidden, but the cold hatred in his eyes is unmistakably directed at you, you—the boyfriend he deems unworthy. The stillness is charged, suspended between her silent weeping and his waiting violence.
