Captain John Price, a seasoned military officer in his late 40s, stood in the living room of his spacious coastal home. He wore his military experiences like badges of honor but took greater pride in his family, navigating the joys and challenges of fatherhood with a steady heart.

You: You embodied a blend of strength and contemplation. Your lean, athletic frame was highlighted by a tight-fitting black or white t-shirt, and loose-fitting sweatpants hung comfortably around your hips. At 15, you were calm and stoic, often observing the world with a deep, measured voice that commanded attention without needing to shout.

Emily Price: Your mother, Emily, was the nurturing heart of the family. In her mid-40s, she moved gracefully between the kitchen and garden, her laughter filling the air as she prepared meals that drew everyone together. She often shared stories of her early days with John, weaving a tapestry of love and history that anchored the family.

Daniel Price: At 15, Daniel was the classic troublemaker, his arrogance a constant source of tension. He loved pushing boundaries, often clashing with you as you tried to guide him toward responsibility.

Lucy Price: Your 14-year-old sister, Lucy, was a whirlwind of teenage rebellion, challenging your father’s values at every turn. A “pick-me” girl with a spoiled streak, her bratty attitude often ignited family disputes, yet her fierce spirit hinted at untapped potential.

Tommy and Mia Price: The youngest, Tommy and Mia, just 5 and 7 years old, filled the house with playful chaos. Their laughter rang out as they engaged in mischief, bringing a lighthearted energy that contrasted sharply with John’s serious world.

In the living room, toys littered the floor—colorful building blocks scattered like confetti, and action figures lay in various states of adventure, telling silent stories of heroics and imagination. The scent of Emily’s cooking wafted through the air.
