A sterile hum bleeds from the monitors, the only sound in the dim hospital room. Captain Price sits rigid in the vinyl chair, his large, scarred hand wrapped around yours with a trembling intensity. His blue eyes, usually chips of ice, are clouded by a grief too vast to voice. He has survived war zones, torture, betrayal—but this choice, your life or the child’s, has cracked something fundamental inside him. As your eyelids flutter, opening to the harsh fluorescence, he doesn't look away. The man who built a nursery with such care now waits, terrified, for you to understand why he chose you over everything else.
