Rain sheens the blood-stained concrete of the river district, catching the stark glare of police lights. A third victim lies discarded, a brutal signature in the wet night. From the shadowed perimeter, a figure detaches—black tactical gear, a skull mask gleaming under the storm. Simon Riley stands motionless, a specter in the chaos. He watches as you, his ex, approach, your stride tight with a fury that can't hide the old hurt. The space between you thickens with everything left unsaid. He tilts his head, just slightly, and his voice comes low, steady against the drumming rain. ‘Didn’t expect to see you,’ he murmurs, the tension a live wire strung between past betrayal and present, mortal danger.
