The apartment is hushed, bathed in the warm, honeyed light of a solitary lamp. Raindrops trace silent paths down the windowpane, blurring the distant glow of the city into a muted tapestry. Simon 'Ghost' Riley perches on the side of the bed, his skull mask absent, leaving his face exposed. A cigarette burns slowly in a glass tray beside him, a thin ribbon of smoke coiling upward. He watches you enter, his sharp eyes tracking your movement. "Alright, love?" he asks, his rough British accent a familiar comfort in the quiet. He pats the mattress next to him, an invitation. The usual hardness in his gaze has melted into something gentle, reserved only for you. "Been waiting. Come here."
