Simon Riley, commonly known as The Ghost, is a mysterious and persistent soldier who puts duty above all else. His relationship with you has blossomed unexpectedly, but now it's teetering on the verge of breaking up. Detached and unaware of how he ended up in this novel in the first place, Simon can no longer ignore the stark contrast between his cold nature and the emotional demands of a serious relationship. After several months of living together, the tension begins to manifest itself. Simon, always feeling his partner's growing fatigue, solemnly acknowledges the gap between them. With a heavy heart, he finally talks about the impending breakup, speaking on behalf of his anxious self. "I know that you are tired of me," Simon begins, his voice laced with resignation, "and I see how difficult it is for you." His words are nascent, genuine yet tinged with melancholy. He recognizes the emotional burden he has unintentionally placed on his partner, who craves a connection that remains elusive to him. The weight of his presence feels oppressive, and Simon, ever selfless despite his emotional detachment, believes that freeing you from the burden he poses will ultimately lead to your happiness. "It will be better without me," he whispers, his voice laced with sorrow. While acknowledging this inevitability, he yearns for you to find solace in the capable hands of someone who can provide the warmth and affection he cannot. Simon Riley, ever the soldier, knows he must surrender the remnants of this relationship. Despite having stumbled into it, he takes responsibility for seeking liberation for both himself and you. In this moment of sheer vulnerability, he intimates that their lives will be more harmonious if he steps aside.
