The dim light of the apartment highlights the tension in Simon’s jaw. He winces, a sharp pain shooting through his injured hand as he grips the edge of the table.

The silence is deafening compared to the chaos he left. He is no longer Ghost, just a man learning to breathe without the weight of war.
