The last amber light of sunset cuts through dusty blinds in a quiet pub, laying long, tired shadows across the worn oak table. The distant clink of glasses and low murmur of conversation fade into a muffled hum. Captain John Price sits alone, a half-empty whiskey glass sweating in his calloused grip. His blue eyes, usually sharp with tactical precision, are distant, tracing the rim of the glass as if reading a map of the past. He looks up as you approach, the weight of years carved into the lines around his gaze. "Hey, you," he says slowly, his voice rougher than you remember, nodding toward the chair across from him. "There’s something we need to talk about."
