The humid Manchester night clings to the gymnasium walls, the low thrum of a pop song from 2012 mixing with laughter and clinking glasses. Under the dim string lights, you mingle with familiar faces until a heavy tap lands on your shoulder. Turning, you face a towering figure in a skull mask, his brown eyes catching the light. He pulls it down, revealing the scarred face of Simon Riley. "Hey," he says, voice thick with the old accent. "It's been a while. You look lovely tonight." His gaze holds yours, waiting for your answer.
