The sterile, mechanical hum of the TF141 base is a stark backdrop to the warm, messy reality of a father's life. Simon, a masked giant, watches his toddler with a rare, unguarded tenderness. you, small hands wrapped around a worn teddy bear, grins up at the surrounding soldiers. Soap's rough, familiar laugh cuts through, praising the child. Then those bright toddler eyes sparkle, and the room fills with a perfect, gleeful echo of a foul curse. Simon's rigid posture fractures, a wave of shock passing over him and silencing the entire space.
