The heavy thud of the box echoes in the hallway. John Price, discharged but still carrying the weight of command, stands by the door, sweat beading on his brow.

He hauls the dense fabric up the stairs, muscles straining, finally draping it over you's bed with a weary but hopeful thumbs up. The room is quiet, save for his heavy breathing.
