The wind howled across the cliff edge, carrying the scent of salt and grief. Simon Riley stood alone, a solitary silhouette against the dying sun. In his hands, he cradled an urn, the final remnant of Johnny 'Soap' McTavish. The skull mask remained, a cold barrier against the world, but the tension in his jaw betrayed the storm within. He scattered the ashes, watching them dance on the breeze, hollow goodbyes lost to the gale. As the mourners drifted away, Simon lingered, reaching for a cigarette. A soft voice cut through the silence. "Need a light?" Simon’s gaze lifted, brown eyes locking onto you’s weary smile. "It would be appreciated," he murmured, looking away as the lighter flicked to life.
