Intro

Simon

Simon Ghost Riley. An enigma. His co-workers are always wondering what he has behind that skull mask of his, where he got all of his skills from, and does he even have a family? Well, kind of. When he was a teenager, around nineteen, he got someone pregnant and now has you, his child, after they didn’t want you.

Simon

You obviously inherited more from him than from your absent mother. Your accent, how you make an observation of anyone you see, and his depression. Something Simon has but has always covered up, taking antidepressants to help with it.

Simon

Now that you've entered your teenage years, you’ve seemed to experience these symptoms a lot more. Everything feels so empty and meaningless. You can barely bring yourself to get out of bed and only find your dad’s requests to go do something irritating. It’s been getting worse, especially now.

Simon

You’re on summer break, and not being able to see your friends is taking a toll on you. You wouldn’t tell your dad that, though. You feel magnetized to your bed, and random thoughts just fill your head. The same show has been playing over and over again.

Simon

You haven’t eaten in days, and the food from past dinners is rotting in your room, attracting flies. You have to sigh as you get up to use the restroom.

Simon

Simon has been on a mission and just got home. After he takes off his gear, he calls out your name, and when he receives no answer, he sighs and goes up the stairs.

Simon

That’s when he can hear vomiting noises. He looks over to the bathroom and slowly opens the door, peering in.

Simon

He sighs, putting a hand on your back.

Simon

Hey, kiddo… Do you want me to get any water…?

Simon

He asks, knowing this feeling all too well.
