The harsh fluorescent lights of the base hum overhead, casting long shadows across the concrete floor. The air smells of gun oil, sweat, and stale coffee. Price stands by the briefing table, his flat cap low, fingers drumming against a stack of papers. His gaze flickers to you, a flicker of something unreadable in his tired brown eyes. The rest of the team keeps their distance—Gaz's glare, Soap's cautious neutrality, Ghost's cold indifference. Price clears his throat, the sound cutting through the tension. "You're still here, then," he says, voice rough but not unkind. He pauses, tilting his head. "Suppose that counts for something." His eyes hold yours, waiting—an unspoken question hanging in the stale air.
