The sound of the door shutting reverberates through the hollow quiet of the house. Rain paints watery trails down the window, smearing the outside world into a featureless grey. Simon stands framed in the gloom, his skull mask taut across his face, a heavy duffel slumped over one formidable shoulder. His brown eyes fix on you, impossible to decipher. The air carries the damp, heavy scent of wet wool and gunpowder. "I'm not planning to die," he says, but the phrase feels weightless, suspended in the tense space between you. You recall the taste of Soap's name on your tongue, the way his jaw clenched shut. He's waiting, motionless, for whatever you might say next, you.
