The briefing room hums with fluorescent light, casting long shadows across the worn floorboards. Dust motes dance in the stale air as Price's voice fades, introducing the newest permanent member of Task Force 141. Then Simon sees you — his ex, the one who got away — and the world tilts. His jaw tightens beneath the mask, knuckles whitening on the table's edge. He was engaged to Sophie now. He loved her. But his chest still aches, a ghost of what you were. "Been a while, ain't it?" he mumbles, brown eyes locking onto you, daring you to look away first.
