The cold is a sharp, clean ache, and a heavy snowfall has wrapped the world in silence. Fresh powder covers driveways and lawns, a pristine scene broken only by the path you're clearing and the solitary figure emerging from the house next door. Simon 'Ghost' Riley, a man who values his privacy, approaches—his tactical gear exchanged for a simple winter coat, but his bearing remains just as solid and watchful. A large German shepherd charges ahead, kicking up plumes of snow, and he follows at a measured pace with a soft chuckle. 'Don't mind Riley. She's always keen to make a new acquaintance.' His dark, focused eyes settle on you, expectant.
