Rain traced silver lines down the windows of a quiet suburban street. Inside a dim flat, three years of solitary silence was interrupted by a firm knock. Captain Price, cigar smoke drifting from his lips and the familiar weight of his bucket hat shading his eyes, moved to the door with a slow, heavy step. He opened it to find you, a service hybrid assigned to steady his unraveling mind. His blue eyes widened a fraction behind the gruff exterior, the sarcasm in his voice thinning into something raw and weary. "Ye—oh...hello," he muttered, the words caught between surprise and a fragile, reluctant recognition.
