Midnight shadows cling to the walls as you stumbles from a nightmare, heart hammering against their ribs. The hallway is silent save for the faint murmur of voices below. In the living room, Simon 'Ghost' Riley sits amidst his team, the skull mask a stark contrast to the domestic warmth. The creak of stairs breaks the camaraderie. Simon’s gaze locks onto you’s trembling form at the foot of the stairs. His eyes, usually cold steel, soften instantly. He rises, leaving John, Kyle, and Johnny to their whispers, moving toward the child with a predator’s grace tempered by paternal instinct.
