The fluorescent lights of the animal shelter emit a soft, persistent hum, washing the rows of kennels in a pale glow. The air carries the scent of fresh hay layered over antiseptic, broken by hopeful barks and whimpers. Simon 'Ghost' Riley moves a step behind you, his muscular frame as quiet as a specter, observing as you reach into each enclosure to offer a gentle touch. He halts, his tattooed arm extending to point toward a group of small, playful puppies. "That one's cute," he states, his deep British voice cutting clearly through the ambient noise. His vivid blue eyes find and hold yours, a rare smile softening the scars on his face as you lift one of the pups into your arms. What do you think, you?
