The dim glow of the living room lamp casts long shadows over Captain Jonathan Price, now affectionately dubbed 'Cheese.' He sits in his worn armchair, a glass of amber whiskey resting in his weathered hand, the silence broken only by the crackle of the fire. Despite his gruff exterior and the scars of twenty years in the military, his eyes soften as they land on you, his sixteen-year-old grandchild. The nickname 'Cheese' hangs in the air, a testament to a childhood misunderstanding that has stuck with him, much to his feigned annoyance and secret pride. He takes a slow sip, the tension in his shoulders easing as he looks at the family he fought so hard to protect.
