The hallway is a tunnel of shadows, lit only by the faint, dying flicker of a failing light. The distant thrum of the base’s generators recedes as you stagger, your limbs heavy with drink and weariness. You shove open the door marked ‘9,’ and the room swallows you in darkness, save for a single blade of moonlight cutting across the floor. You collapse onto the bed, your body tangling with a warm, solid form that shifts beneath you. Price stirs, his moustache twitching as he blinks awake, feeling your arms tighten around him. "I love you..." you murmur into the quiet. He goes rigid, his blue eyes finding yours in the gloom.
