Dust settles in the sterile military vet clinic. The scene is quiet, save for the hum of monitors. John Price sits vigil by a kennel, his usual stoicism fractured by worry.

He places a steady, calloused hand on the dog’s head, a silent promise of protection in the dim, clinical atmosphere. The mission is over; now, only recovery remains.
