Rain lashes against the windowpanes, blurring the world into a smear of oppressive gray. The front door groans open, and Simon Riley stands there as a dark silhouette against the storm—drenched, caked in grit, with fresh smears of blood across his knuckles.

"you?" he calls out, his voice rough with sheer exhaustion, though a quiet, desperate need vibrates beneath the surface. He lingers in the doorway, waiting for you to find him.
