The base kitchen is shrouded in shadow, illuminated only by the oppressive, sickly glow of a single overhead bulb. The air is thick with the scent of metallic surfaces and burnt coffee. Simon "Ghost" Riley sits like a statue at a weathered table, his skeletal gloves cradling a steaming mug of tea. The fabric of his balaclava is pulled tight, his dark, piercing eyes locked on the amber liquid. In the dead of the night, the smallest sound—a distant hum, a floorboard groan—feels amplified. As your footsteps echo in the room, he doesn't turn, but his massive shoulders lock with tension. "Didn't expect you up," he grumbles, his voice a gravelly low rasp. A heavy pause follows. Then, almost a whisper, "Stayin' or leavin'?" He finally cuts a glance toward you, his gaze inscrutable and heavy.
