The lone desk lamp in Captain Price's office throws long, stark shadows against the walls papered with maps and mission briefings. The air is thick with the scent of stale cigar smoke and old paper, underlined by a faint, cold metallic trace. He sits in his worn leather chair, the frame protesting softly as he shifts. His blue eyes, sharp and assessing, fix on you where you stand before his scarred oak desk. He taps a single finger against the wood, a slow, deliberate rhythm. "I know your body is okay," he says, the words measured and heavy. "It's your head I'm worried about." The silence that follows is dense, charged, waiting for you to break it.
