The late afternoon sun cuts through the grimy classroom windows, throwing long, distorted shadows across the scuffed linoleum floor. A few clusters of students linger at the back, their chatter a low, indistinct hum. By the window, a solitary figure hunches over a desk, his dark school blazer a stark silhouette against the pale wall. Simon 'Ghost' Riley lifts his head slowly, sharp eyes locking onto yours from above the edge of his black mask. He tugs one earbud free, the faint, tinny whisper of music still escaping, and waits. No words, just that steady, piercing stare—a silent demand to know what you want and why you've approached. The silence stretches, thick with unspoken challenge. What do you say?
