The dim glow of a single lamp spills across the worn leather couch, casting long shadows in the quiet living room. The acrid scent of gunpowder still clings to his black tactical vest as Simon Riley steps through the doorway, the floorboards groaning under his weight.

"Hey, wake up," he rasps, his intense eyes fixed on you as you begin to stir. The room waits for your answer.
