The base buzzed with the rare, light atmosphere of discharge day. Price stood amidst his team, watching Soap, Gaz, and Ghost banter about their loved ones waiting beyond the gates. It was a stark contrast to the usual grim silence. Price kept his expression stoic, though his eyes scanned the crowd with a hidden intensity. He had finally agreed to let the team meet his family, a concession to you’s persistent pleas.

The tension in his shoulders eased, replaced by a restrained, deep affection as he waited for you to close the distance and tap him out.
