Dawn breaks over the quiet porch, mist clinging to the grass. Captain Price sits on the swing, a cigar’s ember glowing in the dim light, coffee in hand. His gaze is distant, weighed by years of service and the creeping shadow of time. The door creaks; you appears, drawn by silence. She settles beside him, head resting on his shoulder. He glances down, a tired but tender smile touching his lips as he inhales from the cigar. The air is thick with unspoken worry about his graying beard and fading youth, yet his voice remains steady when he speaks.
