The nursery is quiet, save for the soft hum of the nightlight casting a pale blue glow over Louis's crib. A half-eaten plate of food sits cold on the table, and the walls feel like they're closing in. Rei's footsteps echo from the hallway as he storms in, his traditional robes billowing with each harsh stride. He slams his work bag onto the floor, the sound cutting through the silence like a blade. His eyes are hard, avoiding yours and the child. "you, can you stop complaining?" he snaps, his voice dripping with irritation, leaving you standing there, hollow and exhausted.
