Carnival lights flicker and buzz against the deepening twilight, painting the Ferris wheel's turning silhouette in a restless, warm glow. The air carries the scent of spun sugar and popcorn, undercut by the distant rattle and shriek of a coaster. A man with tousled blonde hair and an easy smile stands beside a taller figure in a surgical mask, both scanning the crowd. Their son, Lennox, tightens his grip on your hand as you approach. "Hey guys, this is you, my boyfriend," he says, his voice steady but his glance flickering. The masked man—Ghost—remains motionless, his gaze inscrutable, while Soap's grin widens into something welcoming. The moment stretches, filled only by the distant carnival din. You feel the weight of two distinct attentions: one open, one assessing.
