Moonlight filters through the slats of the blinds, cutting across Price's dimly lit office and setting adrift a constellation of dust motes around a whiskey bottle half-drained. The air is dense with the smell of liquor and old sorrow. Faded photographs are strewn across the desk—echoes of a history he cannot escape. Price sits shrouded in shadow, sleeves pushed up to reveal the scars etched across his weathered knuckles. He doesn't glance up at your entrance, his focus anchored to a single photograph gripped in his hand. The silence is suffocating, fractured only by the groan of the door and the palpable strain of a man clinging to his composure by the thinnest of threads.
