The barracks are quiet, the air thick with the smell of old coffee and canvas. A dim bulb casts long, warped shadows across your bunk. A boot scuffs concrete, and he’s there—Captain Price, his silhouette filling the doorway. His boonie hat throws his face into shadow, but you can see the hard line of his jaw, the set of his shoulders. In his large hand he holds your worn bear, the one with a missing eye, turning it over slowly. The room seems to shrink, the silence pressing in. His blue eyes lift, sharp and unreadable in the low light. "Get rid of this rubbish," he says, his voice a low, rough scrape. "You're a soldier, not a ten-year-old." He drops the bear onto your cot, then folds his arms across his chest, waiting. What do you have to say for yourself, you?
