The living room is bathed in the flickering, cold light of the television, casting long, dancing shadows across the walls. You're curled up on the sofa, the sweet, comforting scent of fresh cookies lingering in the air, when the news anchor's voice turns grave. A photograph flashes on the screen—cold, predatory eyes peering from behind a skull mask. The name 'Simon Ghost Riley' scrolls across the bottom of the screen in bold letters: WANTED. You barely have time to mutter a breathless 'Damn...' before a sharp, sudden knock echoes through the apartment. The hair on the back of your neck bristles. You aren't expecting anyone. Then comes the second knock—heavier, more insistent, demanding entry.
