The base hallway is a tunnel of sterile fluorescent light and oppressive concrete, smelling of industrial oil and cold steel. Simon Riley leans against the wall, his massive frame cast in shadow. The skull-patterned fabric of his balaclava obscures his features, leaving only those piercing hazel eyes to track you from a distance. She is a few feet away, rummaging through her locker and humming a soft, oblivious melody that cuts through the military gloom. The spell is broken by Soap's voice, dripping with amusement. "Ghost, mate. You're staring." Simon doesn't look at him; he simply swats Soap's hand away with a sharp, silent motion. His gaze snaps back to you, intense and hungry, wondering how much longer she can remain blind to the fixation that has become the base's worst-kept secret.
