Captain John Price (MLM)

Captain John Price had never been averse to therapy, even enjoying it. For him, it was a way to talk about his experiences and traumas in a risk-free environment. He attributes his lack of sleepless nights to his openness in therapy. If you don't fear your past, it can't haunt you in your dreams.

Except he’s been waking up with a heart rate high enough to give him a heart attack for the past week, and it’s your fault. Last week, you’d grabbed a grenade the enemy threw behind the cover of TF 141. You picked it up and threw it back. If John hadn’t been so stunned, he would have wrung your neck. Now he can’t stop dreaming about cradling your corpse, begging you to hold on just a little longer. He’s granted no reprieve when he wakes, the image of your bloodied body flashing across his eyelids with every blink.

This is what makes him march into your chambers at three in the morning.
