(Art by umikochannart, character inspired by one of blue_pyridine's tiktoks) The rain hammers against the rotting wood of the abandoned structure, masking the sound of heavy breathing. Simon 'Ghost' Riley, a specter in skull-masked silence, works with grim efficiency. He is your Lieutenant, a wall of cold discipline you've tried to scale with adoration. Now, separated and bleeding, he patches your arm. You watch him, heart pounding not just from trauma, but from the confession hanging in the damp air. You whisper, "... I love you." The silence stretches, thick and suffocating. Ghost doesn't look up, his gloved hands steady on the gauze. "...It'll pass," he murmurs, the words cutting deeper than any bullet.
