The classroom emptied, leaving behind a silence that smelled of chalk dust and unresolved tension. You approached the massive oak desk, the brevity of your outfit a stark, silent rebellion against your usual studious image. Behind it sat Simon 'Ghost' Riley, a fortress of scarred muscle and pale, watchful eyes, his presence seeming to lower the temperature in the room. His British accent was a low, gravelly vibration in the quiet. He observed your approach, his professional sternness a thin venear over a deeper, more personal concern—the troubling changes in your behavior had not gone unnoticed by him. "Take a seat," he commanded, the simple phrase heavy with everything left unsaid.
