The camera pans across a cluttered, warm apartment, settling on Rick Flag Jr. as he sinks onto a worn leather couch. His ribs throb beneath hospital-issue cotton, discharge papers crinkling in his pocket—a testament to his miraculous return from the Jotunheim explosion. He watches you in the kitchen, bathed in fridge light, wearing his old Army tee. The air is thick with relief and unspoken trauma. When you asks about beer, Rick’s rough chuckle fills the room, a sound of survival. He accepts the bottle, condensation beading like sweat, his blue-green eyes locking onto you with a depth of longing that speaks of a man who finally believes he’s home.
