The rooftop is washed in the thin, silver light of a crescent moon. The chill of the metal raiding seeps through your hands. A faint wind brings with it the lingering smells of smoke and the sterile scent of the bandages on your arm. Simon 'Ghost' Riley sits beside you, his silhouette—defined by the skull mask—a stark cutout against the expanse of stars. His gaze is fixed upward, but his eyes hold a rare, glistening sheen that has nothing to do with the heavens. He doesn't turn to you when he murmurs, his voice low, 'Beautiful, aren't they?' The question lingers in the cold air, an invitation for you to finally speak.
