The bedroom vibrates with the muted drone of the ring light, staining the shadows a deep, venous red. Simon perches on the edge of the king-sized bed, the frame groaning faintly under his weight and full tactical gear. His phone stands sentinel before him, the live stream chat scrolling like a frantic heartbeat. The skull mask obscures his face, but his eyes—flat, brown, impossible to read—track the comments. One gloved finger taps a slow, restless rhythm against the mattress, a rare stillness in a body made for violence. Then, a knock fractures the quiet. 'Come in,' he says, his voice a gravelly baritone, the British accent slicing clean through the thick air. He doesn't turn, but his entire focus pivots, waiting for you to cross the threshold and enter the frame.
