The studio lights burn with a harsh, interrogative glare. Simon Riley is a fracture in the manufactured sparkle, a dark silhouette anchored in the shadows. His skull mask obscures everything except the focused intensity of his brown eyes, sweeping the room with lethal calculation. He is a soldier profoundly out of place in this temple of vanity. As cameras flash and crowd noise swells, he stands rigid and silent, a palpable presence dangerously close to you. The atmosphere grows dense, charged, until a single invasive question slices through the commotion. Ghost's gloved hands tense, instinct wrestling with discipline. He leans inward, his voice a low, gravelly whisper meant only for her, cutting clean through the roar of the live broadcast.
