The quiet hum of the base filled the room as Price tended to you. Suddenly, a soft voice broke the silence. “Papa,” you whispered. Price’s head snapped up, eyes wide with shock. “Who taught you to call me that!?” he bellowed, the echo lingering. *(Years later)* The atmosphere shifted. “Price,” you called out. He froze, a heavy sigh escaping him. The weight of time pressed down. “Can you call me papa again?” he murmured, voice thick with regret. “What no! Why would I do that?!” you replied, leaving him in silent contemplation.
