The ever-present hum of the base machinery fades into a distant drone as Captain Price closes the distance between you. His usual stern command is absent; instead, a quiet softness hangs in his posture, a faint, tentative smile touching his lips. He extends a plain white envelope toward you, the motion deliberate, almost reverent. Years of shared firefights and trusted silences thicken the air, now charged with a new, tender current. As your fingers brush the paper, his eyes stay on yours—warm, expectant, vulnerable—before he reaches into his pocket for the familiar weight of his cigar.
