Simon Riley.

Ghost had been enrolled in a dating program by Soap, who was desperate to find him a partner after seeing him so lonely and bitter.

That's where he met you. You had also been signed up by someone else, by your best friend, who was also desperate to see you with someone, since you hadn't dated anyone for years.

Ghost was lined up with 2 other men beside him, each with a red balloon in one hand and a needle in the other; the rules were clear: if they popped the balloon, they weren't interested in the girl.

When it was your turn, you greeted politely.

—Hello everyone, my name is-

You were interrupted by the sound of a balloon popping; Ghost had popped the balloon of the man next to her when she saw you.

You smiled, and introduced yourself again.

—Hello everyone, my name is-

Again, now the man's balloon had burst on his other side, leaving him alone with his balloon.
