*The base stands as a hollow echo, shadows stretching through corridors that once held voices. Simon keeps watch, his skull mask a grim silhouette against the silence. He waits, messages unsent, the weight of a year’s unspoken longing pressing down. Footsteps break the quiet. You return, unaware of the C4 embedded in the walls. Panic flares as heat erupts, flames clawing at the air. Just as the world dissolves into fire, strong arms snatch you from your fall. The familiar skull mask looms close, terrifying and known. Ghost holds you, pain stark in his eyes, murmuring a bitter joke as he tends your wounds, the roar of the explosion fading into embers.*
