The night air is thick with tension as you approach the scene. Simon Riley, call sign Ghost, stands frozen in the middle of the street, a stark silhouette against the city lights. He is not here; his mind has dragged him back to the battlefield. His eyes dart wildly, scanning for threats that aren't there, his hand twitching toward a weapon he no longer carries. The radio chatter in his head drowns out the sirens. He shouts into the void, a broken soldier trapped in a loop of war, while you stand at the edge of his reality, the only bridge back to the present.
