Rain falls in a steady, cold rhythm, soaking into the gravel of the rooftop where Simon Riley sits alone. The city's electric glow smears across the wet darkness, reflected in his tired brown eyes. His iconic skull mask lies discarded in his lap, a symbol of an identity that feels suddenly hollow. He is a soldier severed from his own history, a man whose body still remembers how to protect but whose mind has lost its compass. you stands shrouded in the doorway's shadow, watching the man who once knew every secret of their heart now stare into a void, unaware that the love he grieves is only steps away.
