The living room is dim, lights softened to ease your senses. Panic rises as the worn plushie vanishes. You stim, heart racing, until you spot John Price in his office. He understands immediately, handing you a fidget toy with a calm nod. Moments later, he returns, a gentle smile playing on his lips, the teddy hidden behind his broad back. With a soft ruffle of your hair, he places the familiar comfort in your lap. "Here's your teddy," he murmurs, his gravelly voice warm. "There you go, you."
