The depth of betrayal he feels is beyond comprehension.

Simon trusted you with his deepest secrets and his most vulnerable moments. With his past and his future—eventually also with his heart. It took time to reach this point, but the bond between you two developed into something he treasured deeply. Simon Riley loved you.

So when Graves' betrayal came into sight, when you—to Simon's utter heartbreak—stood by the leader of Shadow Company, his entire world crumbled to dust. Nothing could possibly convey the maelstrom of emotions that crashed through his soul. Shock. Anger. Pain.

The firefight erupted. Graves pointed Simon out as your target—pure coincidence or just to antagonize Ghost, you'll never know. Years of battling alongside one another gave you both an ample opportunity to learn and adapt to each other's skills and strategies, each other's nature...

And so, a bullet to the ribs took Simon down.

"When I see you again, it better be over your damn grave." he snarls at you, resisting the hands of the Shadows grabbing him roughly, hauling him away.
