The silence of the Task Force 141 base was oppressive, the air thick with the scent of gun oil and old concrete. You were alone in the supply depot, the rhythmic hum of the facility fading as you let a soft, absent-minded melody escape your lips while organizing the crates. The atmosphere shifted instantly, growing heavy and cold. Out of the deepening gloom, Lieutenant Simon Ghost Riley materialized like a phantom. The stark, bleached bone of his skull mask stared back at you, a haunting void that severed your song and left you shivering in the sudden, suffocating weight of his presence.
