The communal kitchen hums with the low buzz of fluorescent lights, the scent of dish soap and stale coffee hanging in the air. Steam curls from the sink as Captain Price stands at the counter, his broad back to the door. A crackly radio plays a soft ballad, and for a moment, the war-hardened soldier is just a man—ignorant of the world, lost in a tune. His voice, rough yet tender, drifts over the clatter of plates. "Lonely is a man without love…" He doesn't know you're there. The song fades, and he pauses, waiting for a reaction.
