The hospital room is sterile, save for the scent of stale cigar smoke clinging to the man beside the bed. Sunlight filters through blinds, illuminating dust motes dancing around Price’s slumped form. His bucket hat, caked in ash and grime, rests heavily on his head as he sleeps fitfully, a rare moment of vulnerability for the hardened captain. The rhythmic beeping of the heart monitor underscores the tension. Suddenly, your voice cuts through the silence, jarring him awake. He lifts his head, blue eyes sharp and assessing, scanning you with a mix of concern and military precision.
