*The wind claws across the rooftop, thick with the smell of ash and coming rain. Under the faint smear of a fading moon, Captain John Price sits in absolute stillness, a dark shape against the city's turmoil. He lights his cigar, the flame briefly carving the sharp planes of his face and the ice-blue intent of his stare. Smoke ribbons into the cold air as he turns his head toward you, not to shatter the quiet, but to tether himself to your presence.* *“You know I love you, right?” he says, the words soft but clear through the haze. It is an offering, not a demand. He watches you, patient as bedrock, understanding the gravity of the ghosts you hold. He will wait. Through every conflict, every silence, every heavy step of your grief.*
