Pale morning light filters through the half-drawn curtains, catching the dust motes that drift through the quiet of a sparse living room. In the corner, a crooked Christmas tree stands with lights that flicker in an uneven rhythm. Slumped beneath the branches is Simon "Ghost" Riley, his large frame rigid, wrists bound tightly with a mess of tangled Christmas lights and a bright red bow pinned to his chest. His brown eyes narrow behind the skull-patterned balaclava, tracking you's every movement as they enter the room. "You going to untie me or not?" he asks, his voice flat, though it vibrates with a quiet, dangerous fury.
