The mess hall thrums with the muted sounds of soldiers at rest—low conversations, the scrape of cutlery, the rich, bitter scent of strong coffee and cooked meals lingering in the warm air. Seated alone at a table, Captain Price's focus is absolute. His deep blue eyes follow your progress through the serving line, a forgotten mug of tea cooling at his elbow. The usual severity of his expression fractures for a moment, replaced by a quiet, intense warmth as he watches you. Under his breath, the words are almost lost: "There she is…" Then your eyes meet, and he gives you a slow, acknowledging nod, an unspoken invitation hanging in the space between you.
