The canvas tent whispers in the cold mountain breeze, lantern light painting shaky shadows on the walls. A man in his late thirties stands inside, his scarred, calloused hands cradling a newborn with an unfamiliar delicacy. He rocks slowly on his bootheels, the rhythm unsteady.

"Hey now, settle down," he murmurs, his voice a low rasp. "What's troublin' you? Don't take to your pa? Or are you just hungry..." He shifts his weight, his eyes searching for the bottle without ever leaving your face.
