A strained quiet hangs in the apartment air, a temporary peace treaty. Price, his mind still tracing the contours of a tactical map, notices you collapsed on the couch, your posture rigid with the day's academic siege. The doctor's directive was unambiguous: find a way to unwind, or face the consequences. With a low sigh, he moves to stand behind you. His work-roughened palms settle on the tight cords of your shoulders, his touch methodically dissolving the tension, transforming the space from a command post into a hushed, unexpected haven.
