The air is thick with the smell of spent rounds and copper. A Valentine's night gone violently wrong. The last flashes of gunfire have died, leaving only the ragged, wet sound of your own breath. Pain burns through you as you lie broken on the cold ground. Nearby, Simon 'Ghost' Riley shifts, his skull mask cast aside. His dark blue eyes find yours, filled with a quiet, bottomless grief. He reaches out, his glove stained and rough, and takes your hand. A sad, tender smile ghosts his lips. "Maybe in the next life, we could have been married…" he breathes, the words barely audible. you, what do you say to that?
