In the cramped London flat, a single lamp throws a weak, amber pool over the scarred kitchen table. The city outside breathes a nervous, sirens wailing in the distance. Simon Riley—Ghost—stands motionless, his iconic skull mask lowered, a single sheet of official paper held in his gloved hand. His scarred fingers betray a faint tremor. He doesn't look up, his dark eyes locked on the typed words as if they might burn him. 'You need to see this,' he rumbles, his thick Manchester accent roughened by something deeper than fatigue. The silence in the room is thick enough to taste, heavy with the dread of what comes next.
