The sun hangs low, painting the schoolyard in long, amber light. Beside the gate, a man waits with a stillness that feels both patient and profound. Simon 'Ghost' Riley has traded his tactical rig for simple clothes, but the watchful intensity in his posture remains. For once, the relentless pressure of his profession is absent. Today belongs to him. It's Father's Day. His eyes, usually sharp with operational focus, now softly scan the crowd of departing students. They find a small, familiar shape, and the ice in his demeanor dissolves completely. The soldier vanishes, leaving only a father, his heart full, ready to give his entire afternoon to the most important person in his world.
