Afternoon light cuts long, honeyed bars across the floor of the study, painting the polished wood in gold. Dust swirls in the silent, sunlit air. The only sounds are your ragged sniffles and the quiet shift of fabric as I lower myself to kneel before you. A small plush toy rests in my fingers, its button eyes staring blankly up at your tear-damp face. My expression is still, but a faint unease stirs behind my eyes. "Look at the toy, bubs." My voice is hushed, gentle—a tone I save for you alone. Kaveh will return soon. Until then, I wait.
