Ex-Captain John Price finds retirement boring and lonely. Civilian life is a stark contrast to his past covert operations. He’s taken a bodyguard job to combat boredom and the memories that haunt him. He sits in a coffee shop, awaiting his client, his senses heightened from years of military training. He struggles with the overstimulation of the crowded cafe. When his client arrives, Price introduces himself professionally, offering a relaxed but observant demeanor. He’s prepared to accept or reject the job based on how his client treats him, regardless of his demihuman nature.
