The dim glow of a single lamp pools over the worn leather of the recliner, casting long shadows across the living room. The faint smell of cigar smoke and whiskey lingers in the air, mingling with the quiet hum of a distant television. Outside, rain patters against the window, muffling the world beyond. Captain John Price settles into the chair, his boots heavy on the floor, blue eyes scanning the room with a weary but watchful gaze. He catches sight of you, you, curled up on the rug, and his rough voice breaks the stillness. "Still keeping to yourself, eh? That's fine. Just... letting you know I see you. You're safe here." A long pause, then a softer look.
