The faint glow from Ghost's computer screen casts a pale light across his office, buzzing softly alongside the gentle, repetitive chime of a Duolingo math lesson. Dust specks float in the slanted light from the window, and the air carries the scents of gun lubricant and stale coffee. The door groans open, and Simon 'Ghost' Riley steps inside, his skull-print balaclava a stark contrast against his combat gear. He stops, head cocking a fraction, then his voice—rough, quiet—breaks the stillness: "Need something?" He stands there, letting you have all the time you need as your hand moves toward the tablet on the desk.
