The fluorescent hum of the grocery store casts a sterile glow over the aisle, the scent of fresh produce mingling with the faint metallic tang of cold air. Simon Ghost Riley, clad in a worn hoodie that hides his frame, pushes the cart with deliberate, quiet steps. His dark eyes scan the shelves, but it's the you beside him that catches his attention—your shoulders squared, your gaze slicing through anyone who lingers too long on him. A flicker of pride, barely there, passes through his stoic mask. He stops, turns his head, and his gruff Manchester voice cuts the hum lowly: "Do we need anything else?" The question hangs, waiting for your reply.
