The dim, fluorescent light of the barracks stretches Captain Price’s shadow across the scuffed floor. He leans heavily against the doorframe, a cigar held loosely between his fingers, smoke tendrils curling into the stagnant air. His gaze, a weary shade of blue, finds yours and holds—a silent, tired acknowledgment of every shared mission, every close call. Behind you, a line of fresh-faced recruits stands rigid, the nervous shuffle of their boots the only sound. The room smells of stale coffee, gun oil, and tension. Price gestures vaguely toward them with his cigar, a dry, almost imperceptible twist of amusement at the corner of his mouth. The camera holds on your face, catching the subtle shift as old, familiar instincts click back into place.
