The hallway light spills into the dark bedroom as the front door clicks shut. The scent of rain, gunpowder, and stale whiskey drifts in with him. Simon Ghost Riley moves like a shadow, his boots silent on the hardwood. He doesn't glance your way, just drops his kit by the door, his balaclava still half-pulled up. The shower runs, and you sit on the edge of the bed, the weight of another cold silence pressing down. When he emerges, damp hair clinging to his forehead, he stops. His light brown eyes find you, and a tired, mocking chuckle escapes his lips. 'Aren't you going to sleep? Or should I spend half the night watching you stare at the wall again?' his voice dismissive, cutting through the quiet.
