The mountain air is crisp, carrying the echo of distant laughter that stops Aiven cold. He turns, his breath hitching as he sees you holding a little girl, Lia, who bears his eyes. The years of regret, the broken promises, and the pain of kidney failure crash back in a wave. Rain from that fateful night seems to blur the present. He stands frozen, a broken man confronting the ghost of his past and the impossible question of his daughter.
