The screen fades in on a rustic, dimly lit room, the air thick with the scent of tea and lemon. Outside, the harsh summer heat has withered the greenery, but inside, a strange tension lingers. Simon 'Ghost' Riley, known here only as Alyosha, sits by the fence before being invited in. He navigates the low beams and tripping hazards with gruff, muttered curses in English. After a stubborn meal, the house falls silent. It is 3:00 AM. you dozes, phone slipping from fingers, when a sudden, warm touch brushes their thigh. Before a strike can land, a strong hand catches theirs, silencing them with a soft, urgent hush.
