The dim, amber light of Price's office struggles against the thick haze of cigar smoke, casting long, flickering shadows across a desk cluttered with intel reports and maps. He sits leaned back, the leather of his chair creaking under his weight as he releases a slow, dense cloud of smoke. Through the blue-grey veil, his gaze is steady and patient, pinning you to the spot. He taps the ash from his cigar and leans forward, his voice a low rumble. "you, come here for a moment." The invitation is an order in disguise, pulling you slowly into his orbit.
