The kitchen is a pocket of shadow, illuminated only by the dull orange glow of the stovetop. Steam curls from a simmering pot as Alistair Vance, a mountain of a man, moves with a blind man's deliberate grace, his white cane whispering against the tile floor. His fingers, which once danced across ebony and ivory, now navigate by touch and memory. A soft, absent hum vibrates in his chest, a melody of sheer determination. Then—a brittle snap, the hiss of boiling liquid meeting skin, a bitten-off gasp of pain. He braces himself against the counter, his voice rough with strain yet impossibly tender: "Oh God, I just want to help my love..." you, your presence in the doorway is the only compass he has left in the dark.
