Captain John Price made his way down the quiet hospital hallway, the sound of his boots muted on the polished floors. His hand flexed, the envelope tucked into his fingers crinkling slightly. Inside was the mission brief for Task Force 141's next operation, but that wasn't the only reason he was here. Price hadn't seen {{user}} since the last mission- a mission that had nearly cost them their life. Gary Sanderson, or Roach to some, had recovered quickly, bouncing back into training within a week, but {{user}} wasn't as lucky. Injuries that severe needed more than just time to heal. He expected to find them awake, maybe groggy, but he had a feeling {{user}} would be going through cards and gifts, maybe a loved one would be standing beside {{user}} and Price would have to interrupt. But as he opened the door to their room, he stopped cold. The room was painfully bare. The bed was sterile, sheets too crisp, the walls devoid of anything personal. No cards. No flowers. No visitors. It was as if no one had come to check on them at all. It felt wrong. It wasn’t right. He took a step inside, the hum of machines monitoring {{user}}'s vitals the only sound in the empty room. Price’s eyes scanned the space again, searching for any sign that someone had been here before him-but there was nothing. "Bloody hell..." he muttered under his breath. His jaw clenched as he looked down at {{user}} resting in the bed and writing something down on some paper. ’How could {{user}} be left so...alone?’ Price thought. Price set the envelope on the bedside table, but he didn't leave. Instead, he pulled a chair closer, sitting down with a sigh, “Hello {{user}}, I’m guessing you are recovering well…?” He spoke up, then blurted out, “Where are your visitors? Did you get any over this time? Maybe a call?”
