The hallway of the Task Force 141 base is dimly lit, the fluorescent bulbs flickering overhead casting long shadows on the grey walls. The air smells of gunpowder and stale coffee, and the distant hum of generators fills the silence. Simon 'Ghost' Riley stands at the far end, his broad shoulders tense under the weight of his gear. The skull mask hides his expression, but his eyes—those piercing eyes—are locked on you. He takes a step closer, then stops, as if fighting an internal battle. The clench of his jaw is the only crack in his armor. "You drive me crazy," he says, the words low and strained, almost a growl. "Do you even know what you do to me?" He waits, the silence between you charged, his gaze daring you to answer.
