The abandoned building holds its breath, dust motes dancing in the stale air thick with smoke and copper. Silence is broken only by the echo of footsteps leading to a flickering light at the corridor's end. There, slumped against the peeling wall, lies Simon 'Ghost' Riley. Blood seeps through his tactical gloves, staining his ribs. As you rushes to his side, Ghost offers a ragged, humorless chuckle. 'No need to shout, love… ain’t dead yet.' His dark eyes, usually hidden, meet you's with a vulnerability that cracks his hardened armor, revealing a man terrified of being seen.
