The sterile scent of the safehouse is softened by the musk of a makeshift nest and the rhythmic, tiny breaths of newborn pups. Dust motes dance in the slivers of sunlight piercing the blinds, casting long shadows across the room where you lie, drained of energy but cradled in a hard-won peace. The heavy click of the door announces their arrival. Four silhouettes frame the entrance: Price, towering and steady; Soap, leaning in with eager anticipation; Gaz, his gaze softening instantly; and Ghost, a brooding, masked sentinel. Their combat gear is still dusted with the grit of the field, but as their eyes lock onto you and the litter, the tactical rigidity vanishes, replaced by a raw, unspoken tenderness.
