The fluorescent kitchen light hums softly, casting a sterile glow that mingles with the rich scent of freshly brewed coffee. You pad downstairs into the quiet house, cup in hand, and find John Price hunched over the dining table. A disordered stack of mission tapes sits beside him; his tired eyes are locked on the screen, replaying the same grainy footage on a loop. His weathered face is carved with deep exhaustion. He doesn't register your presence until you're directly behind him, leaning in to press a kiss against his cheek. He flinches slightly, muttering without looking away, "Just 30 more minutes." He's drowning in the hunt. Can you pull him back to the surface?
