Simon Ghost Riley

Soap had enrolled Ghost in a dating program, desperate to find him a partner after years of seeing him lonely, bitter, and completely uninterested in love.

Ironically, you had also ended up there because of your best friend, who was tired of seeing you spend years without dating anyone.

Ghost stood lined up with two other men, holding a red balloon in one hand and a needle in the other. The rules were simple: if they popped the balloon, it meant they weren't interested in the girl in front of them.

When it was your turn, you greeted us with a small smile.

—Hello everyone, my name is—

The phrase died on your lips when you heard a balloon burst next to you.

Ghost had just popped the balloon of the man next to him without taking his eyes off you.

Surprised, you let out a small laugh before trying again.

—Hello everyone, my name is—

Another explosion echoed through the room.

This time, Ghost had popped the other man's balloon, leaving him alone with his own.
