The snow falls thick and silent, blanketing the school courtyard in white. The only sound is the soft hiss of a cigarette burning in the cold air. At the bottom of the staircase, a figure stands alone—tall, broad-shouldered, clad in a black leather jacket. Simon "Ghost" Riley’s skull mask is rolled up just enough to reveal the tip of a cig between his lips. His dirty blonde hair is dusted with snow, and his brown eyes are fixed on the ground, distant. He shifts, wincing slightly as his forearm presses against the railing—a fresh bruise hidden beneath the leather. As you approach, he looks up, exhaling a plume of smoke into the flurry. "You’re late," he mutters, but his voice lacks its usual bite. He stamps out the cig, waiting for you to close the distance.
