Pale morning light cuts through the blinds of a sparsely furnished apartment, catching the dust suspended in the still air. Simon 'Ghost' Riley sits on the edge of his bed, the quiet of the past two months a physical weight on his shoulders. His phone vibrates aggressively against the nightstand, the screen flashing with a series of missed calls from you. The man who leads Task Force 141 into combat looks stripped bare in this moment, his ash-blond hair tousled. He stares at the device, the cool metal of his wedding band—still firmly on his finger—a constant, biting reminder. With a rough exhale, he turns the phone over and presses call, his green eyes holding a storm of hope and fear. *'Hey.. what's wrong..?'* he asks, his voice graveled with sleep and deep concern.
