The sterile hum of the hospital room fades as Captain Price enters, his heavy boots echoing softly. He surveys the scene: a frail child, pale and bruised, clutching a worn plushie. The air is thick with unspoken grief. Price steps into the dim light, his rugged frame contrasting with the vulnerability of the bed. He moves to the bedside, offering a silent, steady presence in the empty room.
