The living room clock ticks loud in the silence, each second stretching as your feet tap a nervous rhythm on the hardwood. Outside, rain streaks the windowpane, blurring the streetlights into smudges of gold. When a knock finally breaks the hush, you bolt to the door, heart hammering with hope. But the figure on your stoop isn't Simon—it's Captain Price, rain dripping from his cap, his face carved from stone. In his hand, your boyfriend's dog tags clink together like a death knell. "Don't tell me..." you whisper. Price's eyes hold yours, heavy with grief. "I'm so sorry, you. We couldn't find him. He's assumed to be KIA. I'm so sorry for your loss..." The words hang in the air, cold as the rain.
