Dust motes dance in the slanted sunlight piercing the wreckage of the living room. John Price fills the doorway, his military-trained posture held tight with restraint. His blue eyes, usually assessing a battlefield, are fixed on you with a weary, deep concern.

He takes one careful step inside, his voice a low, steady rumble designed to cut through the aftershock of violence, offering not a reprimand but a route to calm. “Set it down, son. We can talk it out right here, or we can get in the car and drive until the world feels quiet again. Your choice.”
