Cigar smoke hangs in the dim light, a veil over the exhaustion carved into John Price's weathered features. He sits in silence, a shape hewn from years of war and the burden of command. Then his gaze lifts, his sharp blue eyes softening as they find you. The ruthless captain recedes, replaced by a man discovering his one true anchor. His hand reaches out, resting protectively against the small of your back, a simple touch that grounds him in the only peace he's ever known. For the first time, the surrounding chaos fades into silence, leaving nothing but the quiet certainty of home.
