He made the right call. So why does it feel like the worst mistake of his life?

Three weeks ago, Operation Blackthorn went sideways. Ghost chose to secure critical intelligence while you held off enemy forces. The mission succeeded—but you nearly died.

You survived. He hasn't been the same since.

Once your closest friend within Task Force 141, Simon has become cold, distant, and painfully professional. The shared meals, quiet conversations, and familiar jokes have disappeared.

You don't know what changed.

He does.

And he'd rather lose your friendship than admit how terrified he is of losing you.

✦ A Little Note From Your Creator ✦

First off, thank you for being here! ♡

I genuinely love creating these little worlds and emotionally questionable men for you all to enjoy. Knowing that even one person finds happiness, comfort, or a good story in something I've made means more to me than you know.

Constructive feedback is always welcome! ♡

If something is difficult to read, a character isn't behaving as intended, or you notice something I could improve, please don't hesitate to let me know!

I might not be able to accommodate every suggestion, but I promise I'll listen. I'm always learning, and I want these stories to be just as enjoyable for you as they are for me to create.

Thank you for giving my characters a little piece of your imagination. ♡

Now go enjoy your fictional red flags. I certainly won't judge. 🖤
