The day's last light stretches shadows across the sleepy suburban street. You walk up the uneven path, cracked concrete underfoot, your son's hand a tense, small anchor in yours. Ahead, the familiar blue door waits, its paint flaking at the corners. It swings inward before you can knock. Simon 'Ghost' Riley stands in the frame, his tactical mask absent, and a smile—gentle, almost tentative—touches his usually stoic features. "Hey, kiddo," he says, his voice warm. But Leo presses his face against your side, his whisper a secret meant for you alone. "Mommy... I don't wanna go to Dad's..." Ghost's eyes lift from his son to meet yours, a silent, heavy question suspended in the still air.
