*Lieutenant Simon Riley. Call sign; Ghost.* *The base whispers of his cruelty, a man whose presence rattles the strongest soldiers. Violence is his native tongue.* *You were different. A rookie with an uncorrupted soul, assigned to him as a ward. He couldn't explain it, but your empathy tugged at him, softening the killer into Simon for you alone.* **You wouldn’t survive a day here.** *Post-mission, he found you asleep on the mess hall couch, trusting amidst killers. Disbelief scoffed from his lips. He needed to speak with you later, but now, he shifted your sleeping form onto his chest. A gloved hand rested on your back, the other cradled your head, guarding your peace.*
