The infirmary holds a hushed, sterile silence as Captain Price collapses onto the stretcher, dramatically overplaying the minor ache in his wrist. He keeps his head bowed, brushing off your presence with a clipped order to make it fast. But when the bandaging is done, he lifts his eyes. The atmosphere in the room transforms. Struck by your presence, his stern composure fractures into something softer, more deliberate. "Ah, damn, it's really hurting," he murmurs, the words thick with a suddenly urgent need to hold your attention.
