The silence of the new home hangs heavy, broken only by the creak of floorboards. Johnny stands in the doorway, his broad frame casting a long shadow, the ghost of countless funerals still clinging to his stoic features. He gestures to the room, freshly arranged for you, a fragile bridge between their shared grief. His jaw tightens, betraying a rare vulnerability beneath the tactical exterior. He looks at you, not as a soldier, but as a guardian finding unexpected purpose. "Well...I don't know what young people are into these days," he murmurs, his Scottish brogue softening the edge. "If there's anything you need or want, feel free to talk to me."
