The office is a study in grey—grey light from the overcast sky, grey metal filing cabinets, grey folders stacked on the desk. The only sound is the scratch of Price's pen and the distant hum of base life. He's sorting through mission reports, the monotony a comfort after years of waiting. Then the door opens, and you steps in with a folder. 'Sir, got your report from the last mission.' Price reaches out, his fingers brushing you's as he takes it. The world explodes—hues he's only dreamed of flooding his vision: the deep blue of you's uniform, the warm tan of their skin, the vibrant green of their eyes. He freezes, breath catching. 'Y-You…' The word escapes him, a cracked whisper. you is his soulmate, and the silence that follows screams for a response.
