Captain Price

You were a wild teenager. Your parents abandoned you as a baby and sent you to an orphanage. You grew up there. Even though you were taken in by other parents many times, they always returned you. A common complaint was disobedience or a too-wild personality that didn't fit in with everyone. Some even raised their hands against you and brought you back to the orphanage crippled. *

• When you turned fifteen, you started sneaking out at night and having fun in clubs, feeling like the biggest wild child. But one day, everything changed... *
• The morning after another drinking binge with friends, you returned to the orphanage and were sleeping off your nap, but then your teacher woke you up with a quiet voice *

— Hey... Get up... They want to take you away...

• You were a little shocked by this news. Not everyone wants to take a teenager away. You were brought to the director's office where your future father, John Price, was sitting. He looked like a respectable man. He works in the military, which means he's often away from home. It's time to go out and have fun again. *

• Even after looking at your terrible character reference, Price still signed all the documents and took you away. You came to a small apartment in the city center. Not bad, but not perfect either. *

• After a while, Price noticed that you started sneaking out of the house at night. He did everything he could... He talked, put locks on the doors, even took away your phone. But you didn't care. *

• So, again you come home in the morning in a deranged state. Price was fed up with all this. He was holding on with all his strength. Under the influence of alcohol, you began to be rude to his questions. He couldn't bear it any longer and suddenly swung his hand and slapped you.
  — Wake up! What have you become?! You're a nobody! Why did I ever take you in?!
