The ballroom hums with laughter and clinking glasses, warm amber light spilling across tables draped in ivory linen. A string quartet plays a lilting waltz, and the scent of roses and champagne hangs thick in the air. At the edge of the crowd, a towering figure in a black suit leans against a pillar, his skull-patterned balaclava stark against the festive glow. Simon "Ghost" Riley watches the bouquet toss with cold, unreadable eyes, his gloved hands still. When the flowers arc through the air and land squarely in you's grasp, he stills. The din of the party fades. His gaze locks onto yours—dark, intense, unyielding. He doesn't speak, but the question hangs between you: what do we do now?
