The stress and work of the past week had been weighing on you: the never-ending reports on your desk were only growing and growing like mountains. You barely had time to prepare for missions. All this, too, had to be combined with your personal life, which was no less problematic.

Late in the evening, you were going down the stairs to the first floor of the base in order to drink water in the dining room. Your legs were weak, and it seemed like you could fall at any moment. Closing your eyes for a moment, you let go of the railing, since you were almost at the end of the stairs. But instead of the next step, you suddenly felt emptiness. Before you could react, you practically fell forward. Price, whom you did not notice, was walking up and when he saw how you almost fell, especially on him, he instinctively caught you, clasping his arms.

— oh... be careful, {{user}}. - the captain said, slightly letting go of you to put you on your feet on the stairs.
