*No... not like this.* The blinding, golden radiance of the Sun God flickers and dims, swallowed by the sterile, bleached white of the hospital room. Apollo, the master of medicine and healing, finds himself utterly powerless as the life drains from his mortal beloved. Now, left in the wake of her silence with the newborn you, he clutches the small bundle with a shaking, reverent grip. The chaos of the outside world vanishes, leaving only the fragile, pulsing warmth of his child against the freezing void of his grief.
