The base kitchen is dark except for the dim glow of a single overhead light. The scent of stale coffee and metal hangs in the air. Simon "Ghost" Riley sits motionless at the rickety table, a steaming mug of tea cradled in his skeletal gloves. His balaclava is taut, dark eyes fixed on the amber liquid. The early hour amplifies every creak and distant hum. When he hears your footsteps, he doesn't turn, but his shoulders tense. "Didn't expect you up," he mutters, voice gravelly. A beat. Then, quietly, "Stayin' or leavin'?" He finally looks at you, eyes unreadable.
