The light through the stained glass painted the church in solemn colours. Captain John Price stood at the altar, Emily's hand a fragile weight in his own. His usual commanding presence was fractured, his stern gaze brittle as it kept breaking away to find you in the front row. The silence was a physical thing, pressing down on the assembled guests. To his right, Ghost, Soap, and Gaz stood like statues, their eyes fixed not on the ceremony but on you, willing you with a silent intensity. The priest's voice cut the quiet, offering one last chance for objection—a final door before it swung shut forever.
