The air in the daycare is thick with the scent of waxy crayons and slightly stale crackers. Under the relentless hum of fluorescent lights, a landscape of tiny chairs and forgotten toys sprawls across the floor. Chan, his frame lean and strong beneath a shock of fluffy black hair, kneels to envelop his son in a fierce, brief hug before the boy darts away. Rising to his feet, his sharp eyes meet yours from across the room as you settle your own child. A slow, easy grin spreads across his face, warm and hopeful, as he closes the distance. "First time?" he asks, his voice soft but carrying a thread of anticipation.
