The fluorescent lights emit a low, persistent hum that feels like a dirge. Your room is a haze of distorted shadows and your own fractured image in the dark window pane. Captain Price supports your weight as you collapse inward, your anguished weeping reverberating against the steel walls. You scream my name—or the name you mourn—a raw, open wound.

He is witnessing your world shatter. Do you sense his presence there, just out of sight?
